T-H Marine Designer Series 13 in x 24 in Non-Locking Boat Access Hatch, Polar White

The T-H Marine Designer Series Access Hatch (HDS-1324-2) is a 13 inch x 24 inch non-locking deck hatch built for boat owners who want a finished, flush-mount look along with reliable, water-tight access to storage or wiring compartments below deck. The hatch features tapered edges and hidden fasteners set into the frame, giving it a clean appearance with no visible hardware. Cam-style locks hold the lid securely closed, while a positive lid seal keeps water out of the compartment below. Stainless steel hinges allow the lid to swing open a full 160 degrees for easy access, and the lid itself is structurally engineered to be a "walk-on" surface, so it can handle foot traffic on deck. The hatch sits just 5/8 inch above the deck when installed, and it can be mounted either vertically or horizontally depending on the layout of the boat. This is the non-locking version, finished in Polar White to match light-colored deck and hull finishes. It is part of T-H Marine's Designer Series hatch line, which is also offered in Black, Sand Shell, and Light Gray, and in additional sizes for different deck openings.
