Tempress Tackle Cam Hatch - White, 13 x 23 Inch Cam Hatch with Plano 3700 Tackle Boxes

The Tempress Tackle Cam Hatch in White is a built-in tackle storage system sized for the 13 x 23 inch cutout, designed to give boaters a clean, walk-on-strength access point for tackle, bait, or fish wells. It ships complete with Plano 3700 tackle boxes, so the hatch and its storage are ready to install as one unit rather than requiring separate box purchases. The hatch can be mounted either horizontally or vertically, giving installers flexibility when laying out a console, gunwale, or deck.

Construction is glass filled polypropylene, chosen for strength and durability in a marine environment. A dog down latch compresses the gasket with a quarter turn of the wrist to create a weather-tight seal, keeping spray and rain out of the compartment below. Tempress builds the hatch with a patented integral hinge assembly that allows the lid to be removed easily for cleaning or box swaps, and the lid itself is beveled and skirted so that all mounting fasteners are covered for a clean finished look.

Beyond tackle storage, the hatch is suited to any application needing weather-sealed access, including bait or fish well lids and covers over electrical or plumbing lines. The White finish matches common deck and console colors on fiberglass boats.
