Freeman Marine flush deck hatches
Freeman hatches are used on a wide variety of fishing boats, tugs,
barges, research vessels, offshore tenders, rescue crafts and other
workboats. The Freeman hatch is designed for new boats, for replacing
other hatches in standard openings, or for improving an existing craft.
There are many benefits with the 2400 series cast hatches:
Unique
Developed and manufactured under various patents by Freeman Marine.
Easy Lift
With the locking mechanism disengaged, the hatch is merely resting on
the deck ring and can be lifted out with one hand. Closing is just as
quick and easy. Optional inside escape handle performs the same easy way
with a push and turn from below.
Watertight
Designed to seal to 30-foot intermittent head, the double-sealing gasket
actually seals tighter under pressure.
Versatile
Installs in steel, aluminum, wood or fiberglass decks. Complete unit
includes aluminum or steel mounting ring for bolting or welding
installations.
Reliable
The unique design, fit, finish and adjustability of the dogging
mechanism assures smooth, consistent action - no binding or jamming of
parts. This hatch, adjusted to proper tensions, can't be over or under
tightened by mistake. It operates the same each time.
Low Maintenance
All parts are made of superior materials designed especially for marine
and other abusive environments. The hatch and most parts are corrosion
resistant aluminum. All other components are stainless steel, acetal or
compatible.
