Smart Marine 2X Rectangle Boat Access Hatch 17.3×12.4 White, 180° Hinge UV-Stable ABS

Smart Marine's 2X rectangle access hatch is a weather-resistant ABS boat deck lid sized 17.3"×12.4" that opens 180° and provides a secure, corrosion-free entry for storage and systems access on boats and yachts.

Designed for both interior and exterior use on small craft up to larger yachts, this rectangular hatch combines rugged UV-stable ABS construction with a non-slip surface, recessed handles, and a full-coverage hinged lid. The unit is engineered to resist saltwater corrosion and sunlight degradation while giving you a clean, low-profile look. It ships with screws for straightforward mounting and supports vertical or horizontal installation depending on the space you’re fitting.

How durable is this hatch for marine environments?

The hatch is molded from heavy-duty ABS with UV stabilization to minimize warping and discoloration from sun exposure. A rubber gasket seals the flange to reduce water intrusion when properly mounted, and the reinforced lid resists flexing under load.

• UV-stabilized ABS construction for long-term outdoor exposure
• Anti-corrosive material ideal for saltwater conditions
• Reinforced lid and recessed handles for strength and low snagging
• Rubber seal for weather resistance when installed correctly

Will this hatch fit my boat and how big is the cutout?

The Smart Marine 2X hatch has precise outside and inside dimensions so you can plan a neat installation. Use the specified cutout size to prepare the deck or bulkhead and confirm clearance for the lid’s 180° swing.

• Outside length: 17.3 in (440 mm) and outside width: 12.4 in (315 mm)
• Inside opening: 13.8 in (350 mm) by 9.25 in (235 mm)

How does the hatch operate and secure contents?

The lid hinges open to 180° for full access to the compartment and features a lock provision and two recessed handles for hauling and pulling without catching lines. The design keeps the mounting flange fully covered when closed for a clean, watertight appearance.

• 180° hinge allows unobstructed access to the compartment
• Lock-ready flange for optional security hardware
• Two strong recessed handles for safe handling and reduced snag risk
• Lid fully covers the mounting flange to keep elements out

How easy is installation and what comes with the hatch?

Installation is straightforward: the hatch accepts screws supplied in the kit and works in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The package includes the hatch, gasketed lid, and mounting screws; standard woodworking or fiberglass tools are all you need to complete the cutout and fasten the unit.

• Ships with screws for a complete mounting kit
• Cutout-ready dimensions to speed up fitting and trimming
