Tempress 1323 Cam-Latch Access Hatch, 13 x 23 Inch, White, Without Lock (44530)

The Tempress 44530 is a 1323 series Cam-Latch access hatch built for boat decks, storage compartments, and bait or live well access points. Molded from glass filled polypropylene, it is designed to be strong enough to walk or stand on in high-traffic deck areas while resisting water intrusion. Instead of a keyed lock, the hatch closes with a dog-down cam latch: a quarter turn of the wrist compresses the built-in gasket against the lid to create a weather-tight seal, so it opens and closes quickly without a key. A patented integral hinge assembly lets the lid lift off easily for full access to the compartment below, and the beveled, skirted lid design covers all mounting fasteners for a clean finish whether it is viewed from above or below the deck.

This hatch finishes in white and fits a 13 inch by 23 inch cutout, making it a good fit for dry storage compartments, electrical or plumbing access panels, and bait or fish wells. It has a universal fit, meaning it is not restricted to a specific boat make or model as long as the deck opening matches its dimensions. For added storage capacity, the 44530 hatch is compatible with Tempress's 12 inch deep Access Hatch Liner, which drops in below the hatch to create a usable storage or live well cavity.
