Tempress 44730 Cam Hatch, White, 13 x 30 Inches

The Tempress 44730 Cam Hatch is a 13 x 30 inch access hatch in white, built for dry storage, bait or fish well access, and reaching electrical or plumbing lines run beneath a boat's deck. It is constructed from glass filled polypropylene for strength and durability, and is part of the Tempress line of Access Cam Hatches, which are engineered for heavy traffic areas and designed to withstand people walking or standing on them.

The hatch uses a quarter-turn dog-down cam latch that compresses a gasket to create a weather-tight seal, so the lid locks down securely and resists popping open in rough conditions. A two-piece integral hinge assembly allows the entire lid to be lifted out for full, unobstructed access to the space below, rather than just swinging open on a fixed pin. The beveled, skirted lid design covers all mounting fasteners for a clean finish whether viewed from above or below decks.

This is a practical, functional hatch suited to a wide range of boat deck applications where a secure, sealed opening is needed. Weight is 7.1 pounds.
