❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Marine Deck Hatches
Are these deck hatches waterproof?
Yes, when properly installed and closed, the pre-installed rubber gasket creates a watertight seal. This is designed to keep rain, spray, and bilge water from entering the compartment, though it's not intended for submersion under water.
What is the material, and how does it hold up to sunlight?
These hatches are made from high-quality ABS plastic that is formulated with UV stabilizers. This means they resist yellowing, fading, and becoming brittle from long-term exposure to sunlight, making them a great choice for open boats and pontoon decks.
Which size should I order for my boat?
First, measure the opening you need to cover. Our sizes (270-375, 315-440, etc.) refer to the outer frame dimensions in millimeters. When planning your installation, ensure you have the appropriate clearance for the inner frame. For a replacement, measure your existing hatch's outer dimensions and choose the closest match.
What is the advantage of ordering the version with spare handles?
The latches on these hatches are durable, but they can be subject to wear and tear. The "with spare handle" option gives you extra peace of mind by including 1 or 2 spare latches in the package. This is especially useful if you are installing multiple hatches or want to avoid hunting for a replacement part later.
Are screws included for the installation?
Yes, stainless steel screws are included in the box for installation. You will receive 8, 10, 12, or 14 screws, depending on the size of the hatch you order, ensuring you have enough hardware to complete the job without running to the hardware store.
