Hatches and Latches
Fiberglass Deck Hatches - The fiberglass deck hatches for the forward and aft bilges, the 3 fish boxes
and the 2 casting deck storage boxes (not dry storage) can easily withstand the weight of passengers and
gear; just like the rest of the deck surfaces.
The twist latches that are installed on the fiberglass deck hatches are made of stainless steel. Just lift the
handle of the latch from the recessed area of the hatch, twist it and lift the hatch open. There is a small
red dot on one side of the latch. If the red dot is visible when the hatch is closed, that means that even
though the hatch may be closed, the latch is not secure. To make sure that all hatches are closed and
secured before you get underway, lift the handle of the latch, turn it 180
return the handle to the recessed area of the hatch. Once the hatch is secure, the red dot will no longer
be visible.
The hatches for the aft bilge and the 2 aft fish boxes are each equipped with gas shocks. The gas shocks
allow you to easily open and close the hatches. The gas shocks also hold the hatches in place when they
are open.
Additional hatches on the boat provide access to many components. The following photo identifies the
locations of the components that can be accessed via theses hatches.
