Hinged hatches and doors
Submitted by sackshaker on Mon, 2016-06-13 18:07
Hi all. Can anyone tell me if there is such thing as a lockable, water tight access door? Like the white placcy ones but something a bit more substantial and lockable. Maybe ally or stainless?
Cant find an "off the shelf" example.
Cheers mick.

You can get them, I fitted
You can get them, I fitted one during my apprenticship, it was cast ally with a rubber seal rated to like 4 metres or something, from what I remember it was stupid expensive like $1500 for a 500x500 hatch
This is the one i fitted, really high quality but pricey

Yakfishwest?
Have a look on the yakfishwest website or facebook pages. These guys were changing round hatches to square ones.
They have to be watertight and lockable for the kayaks.

Common known as a moonlight hatch^^
We always had them on crayboats over the skippers seat, for ventilation, even with a flybridge over the top. Generally not considered to be trafficable, but you could put the odd foot on them if required. The cast alloy ones are out there in a range of sizes , are very strong but expensive.
