Last year we thought our flush-mounted hatch was the best... and then WE IMPROVED IT! Nabrico Watertight, Flush-Mounted Hatch All Moving Parts Now Non-Corrosive Metal It's difficult to be modest about this DF-430 Hatch . . . especially when Nabrico has come up with improvements to top even its former great performance! Now, this patented DF-430 Hatch has a threaded T-bar of stainless steel with a brass nut and washer. Result: no corrosion ? never any seizing of parts. That's important anywhere ? but it's especially vital to salt-water operation. Lighter than cast steel (63 lbs.) and with only two main components, the DF-430 Hatch has achieved ABS approval. The features listed right are ample proof that the DF-430 provides more and greater advantages than any other hatch. In fact, the only thing that's modest about the DF-430 Hatch is its price. It's actually lower than conventional hatches. Try the DF-430 as original equipment or replacement. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Hatch cover seats on neoprene O-ring gasket for watertight seal. Mounting ring welded flush with deck to accept cover. Strongback draws against mounting ring with just hand tightening. Threaded "tee" handle, recessed in cover.
