The Access Cam Hatch is made from a glass filled polypropylene, for strength and durability. All Access hatches are designed for heavy traffic areas, and will withstand people walking or standing upon them. The 1323 Access Cam Hatch features two dog down latches, that compress the gasket to create a weather tight seal with a quarter turn of the wrist. Access Hatches also utilize a patented integral hinge assembly that allows for easy lid removal. The beveled and skirted lid covers all fasteners for a clean look above or below decks. The Access Cam Hatch line is the perfect choice for easy dry storage, access to bait or fish wells, or electrical and plumbing lines.

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 [$]
