Hoffen Boat Hatch, 4" 6" 8" Round Non Slip Inspection Hatch w/Detachable Cover for Marine Boat Yacht

It meet my expectations perfectly! Thank You 👍

The Hatch arrived quick and was easy to install on a kayak i own. All the parts with it was nicely shipped in good packaging. It’s reliable and durable and keeps the water out for my accessories…

Feels like good quality, very sturdy. We'll see how it stands up to the elements, but I'm happy with it so far. Used it for a fuel tank connection inspection port.

Needed to add a ladder to the back of our ski boat and had to drill and access hole in the side of the motor well to get to the mounting area. This cover did the trick to make the area look professionally done, and gives access now to the fuel fill area and the ladder mounting area. Only drawback is you HAVE TO drill a 6.5" hole and the local hardware stores do not cary a 6.5" hole saw. But luckily Amazon does!!! And for only $14 more.

I bought this hatch to create an access hole at the front of my boat so I could wire other things (trolling motor, lights, etc) in place. I wanted something that would be durable, look professional, and seal up tight and support some weight. Originally I bought it to go under my seats but the other day I was cast netting on the front of my boat and I was standing on this panel and I could tell it could support my weight just fine. It's very well built and durable. The plastic feels thick and up to par with any other products you might run into. This hatch is about 3/8 of an inch tall? Or so. So it is NOT flush or even close to flush with the surface you mount it to. But it worked out just perfect for me. Great deal for a strong 8" hatch. This hatch is threaded by the way. So it spins when you fit the door back into the ring.

I used this as an inspection port in the bottom of a RV. It worked well, I just wish it had a fiber or other gasket or even a ring to use when placing this into semi rigid surfaces. I used RTV to help secure this, along with the screws around the perimeter. The Lid screws in easily and stays secure when tight. I would use this again!

I was doing a rigging on a Crestliner Kodiak and there was no access to the area under the storage locker or helm. There was a rigging tube that I was able to run a fish wire down but couldn't find where it ended. By adding 3 of these I was able to run all of the necessary wiring for an additional power distribution point, speaker wires and transducer cabling down the center of the boat under the floor with plenty of separation to avoid interference with my graph as opposed to under the gunwale which I think looks terrible and often causes interference issues. They're very thick and heavy duty. The hardware is better than most hardware you usually get with these types of projects so it was great that I didn't have to make an extra trip to the hardware store. We used a 4-1/2" hole saw for the installation.

Worked perfectly for an access point on an IBC tote project

product fit well
