Deck Plates

Deck Plates are a common hatch style found on many types of kayaks. They consist of a rim bolted to a hole in the deck, with a cover. The cover, or lid, will close in a variety of ways. Some screw into place, like a jar lid. Others have toggle handle(s) that latch like a cabinet. Most deck plate style hatches are small and round, but there are also larger sizes and other shapes available. A deck plate hatch cover can be used as replacement cover. Covers and lids are not sold separately; they always come with a rim.
