Drop in Aluminum Hatch Lid Assembly, custom sized

Drop in aluminum dry hatches allow you to add dry storage to your boat, quickly and easily.  Simply cut a rectangular hole, drop the assembly in, and screw it down.  Lid frames have a drainage channel around the opening, and include a drain fitting and section of drain tube.  

All lids are built from durable .125" (1/8") aluminum sheet.  Most lids also have stiffener welded underneath.  These are designed to be rock solid under even the heaviest of foot traffic!

PLEASE NOTE:  Custom sized hatch lids are built to order.  Lead time on custom built lids is typically 4 weeks. 

Dimensions:

-Lids are sized by the exact hole cutout in the deck - frames are undersized slightly during manufacturing to allow for installation clearance.

-Outside mounting flange is 1" on each side - total flange size of frame will be 2" larger than hole cutout.  

-Inside drain channel is 1 1/4" on each side - inside finished opening to put things through is 2 1/2" smaller than hole cutout.  

-Frame hangs down 1 1/2" below top surface of deck.

Perimeter gap options:

-Standard lid gap - 3/16 perimeter gap, suitable for paint, textured bedliner, Seadeck and other EVA foam options.

-Carpet BOTH lid and frame - gapped for 2 layers of carpet on each side.  Choose this option if you're planning on carpeting over the lid AND the perimeter frame (install frame prior to carpeting deck).

-Carpet LID ONLY - gapped for 1 layer of carpet on each side.  Choose this option if you're planning on installing the lid in a deck that's already carpeted without needing to replace the existing deck carpet.  Frame mounts on top of existing carpet, and allows for carpeted lid to sit flush with surrounding frame.

Latch Options:

-Black plastic non latching flush pull, fits 1 3/4" hole - $3.75

-Sarasota LL905, light duty locking latch, fits 2" hole - $20

Sarasota CL316, heavy duty all stainless non locking, fits 2" hole - $32
