Description
The Lewmar Size 44 Low Profile Hatch with Vent (Part #399440308) is a premium marine deck hatch engineered for reliable performance, sleek aesthetics, and excellent ventilation on powerboats, sailboats, and yachts. Crafted with a silver anodized aluminum frame and light grey (smoke/tint) acrylic lens, this hatch combines modern styling with exceptional durability. Its low-profile design rises only about 1 inch (25 mm) above the deck, delivering a streamlined, flush appearance that minimizes wind resistance and enhances your vessel's clean lines—ideal for power craft or any boat where a discreet, professional look matters.
Features
- Integrated vent for controlled airflow and fresh air circulation without fully opening the hatch
- Friction lever mechanism for easy, secure positioning and stay-open functionality
- Lockable handles inside plus external handles for convenient operation from both sides
- Tough 8mm thick acrylic window for superior impact resistance, UV protection, and crystal-clear visibility
- Watertight construction with proven Lewmar sealing to keep your interior dry
