{"product_id":"tempress-44230-access-slam-hatch-with-lock-11-x-15-inch-white","title":"Tempress 44230 Access Slam Hatch with Lock, 11 x 15 Inch, White","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tempress 44230 is a slam-latch access hatch built for high-traffic areas of a boat where quick, secure openings matter. The lid closes with an easy-close slam latch that forms a weather tight seal simply by pressing it shut, so there is no separate locking step needed to keep the compartment sealed. A patented integral hinge assembly lets the lid be lifted off entirely for full access to the opening or for cleaning, rather than being limited to a fixed swing radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolded from a hard polypropylene shell in white, this hatch is designed for dry storage as well as access to bait and fish wells or to electrical and plumbing runs beneath the deck. It can be mounted either vertically or horizontally depending on the layout of the boat, making it a flexible choice for helm consoles, gunwales, or deck compartments. The hatch is not rated as water resistant on its own, so it functions best as an access and dry-storage point rather than a submerged or constant-spray location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hatch measures 10.75 inches by 15.125 inches on the outside opening, with an inside clearance of 7.25 inches by 11.25 inches, and requires a cut-out of 8.625 inches by 12.625 inches. Overall lid dimensions are 15.13 inches long by 10.75 inches wide by 10.75 inches high. It is compatible with the Tempress 6 inch utility\/access hatch liner for adding secured dry storage inside the hatch opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
