These are the hatches manufactured by Valley Canoe Products. A strong rubber hatch cover snaps over a plastic flange, creating a watertight - even airtight - seal. The design is said to have been adapted from WWII lifeboat storage compartment hatches.
Ideal for day hatches, or as an access hatches on wet boats. These VCP hatches are now standard in Pax kits and would work nicely on Shearwater or Wood Duck decks. (The plastic flange will not, however, accommodate highly radiused decks.) Available in 7.5" round and 16" x 9" oval. Oval hatch below, round hatch above. 
*Save $10.00 by ordering a pair of hatches! The set includes one 7.5" hatch & one 16" x 9" hatch. |
