Comments about Tempress Tempress Cam Hatch 1323 Access Hatch Cam Latch White:
There are nine of these on my 24' fishing boat. Two broke the first year, and two more the next. All are broken now. The hinge mechanism allows easy removal, but to do this it also allows inadvertent release. Over the course of several years all hinges are now unsuable. Since the part that breaks is molded into the lid, you have to replace the lid to fix it. I have tried various alternatives to the hinge design because it does not make sense to throw the whole thing away if just the hinge is bad. Pay more and get something with a continuous hinge or at leat a stainless hinge. Replacing these babies is going to cost me over [$]
