Handles:
VETUS hatch handles have a number of advantages.
- The hatch can be opened from either inside or outside.
- The hatch can be shut completely watertight, or secured with a small air gap to allow
- permanent ventilation.
- An internal locking mechanism ensures the hatch cannot be opened from outside when the boat is left unattended. This operates in both the closed or ventilation positions.
- The low external profile ensures that ropes, e.g. running rigging on sailing boats, cannot foul on the handles.
Options:
- HCM Hatch trims with mosquito screen:
- All VETUS hatches from the Altus, Magnus, Libero* and Planus ranges can now be supplied with an adjustable depth trim complete with mosquito screen.
- These white synthetic trims are designed to cover the aperture between the hatch and the headlining inside the boat. The depth of the flange can be easily cut to size, to make them suitable for any deck thickness.
- An integral and hinged mosquito screen provides complete protection against unwelcome insects.
- The screen can be easily removed if required to facilitate cleaning.
