The 21 mm profile minimizes deck clutter, while the lid opens wide enough to create a clear escape route or to boost airflow—crucial when dealing with warm cabins or engine compartments. The ability to operate from either side and to lock in a ventilating position offers flexible, practical solutions during sailing, anchoring, or overnight passages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal applications include emergency egress on busy deck layouts, efficient cockpit or cabin ventilation on hot days, and direct-deck installation without the need for specialty adapters. The satin anodised frame ensures a durable finish against marine weather, while the 627x627 mm opening provides a reliable, standardized access point across a variety of vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProduct details for ordering and installation: Product Code 4640; Product Number 4640J - 10.08.22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideo Guides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Install a Boat Hatch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gc-ugwFX8Ag\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MAXWELL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48370535661853,"sku":"4640-ASM","price":1380.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/1072\/3613\/files\/maxwell-marine-hatches-maxwell-altus-escape-hatch-701mm-x-701mm-4640-asm-4640-asm-escape-hatch-maxwell-altus-701mm-x-701mm-aluminium-1191971852.jpg?v=1772754953","url":"https:\/\/actionoutdoors.kiwi\/products\/maxwell-altus-escape-hatch-701mm-x-701mm-watertight-deck-hatch-with-ventilation-for-ocean-boats","provider":"Action Outdoors Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
