What is this boat part called?

[reyes]

Right, so, I've just found this:


So, nothing overly special as I thought with the winch connector (I must be thinking about another boat I was on).

Does anyone have any idea as to the name of that deck hatch? I'll get googling in the meantime. What I am curious about though is why there are no screw holes for the bit the led screws into. Perhaps it was bonded (or at least, meant to be). I suppose I'll learn that when I find out what this cover looks like when the lid's off!

Looks a bit like: https://www.svb24.com/en/bavaria-inspection-cover-round-145-mm.html

I may be stating the obvious, and I'm not sure of the Bav design, but if there is rain forecast I'd advise making a temporary cover. If it's anything like my Jeanneau once the cover is removed, it allows access direct to the bilge.

I can confirm that on the bav its not an issue if its left off - what I assume was over exuberant use of the pressure washer by the young yard hand meant we arrived at the boat and found it missing - its was discovered 20 ft aft of the boat. It had been off for weeks in the best of Scottish winter but there was no water ingress.

I think (but am 120 miles from boat) that the screws are covered by the "lid" when the lid is in place. That particular Bav is newed than yours I think (gas locker door got fancier?).

See my link above to the Jefa ones. Just need to measure diameter.

It's more no screws on my boat. There's no lid or fitting to screw a lid in to (which would, in fairness, explain why if there was one there, it isn't now!)

@lustyd, yep, got it. Back at the boat this weekend so will have a look

It's probably one of these... Screw Inspection Hatches - Force 4 Chandlery

 

[ashtead]

If you look at the SVB offering it has 6 screw holes round edges so I guess these with mastic underneath hold it in position. The top then screws into position -hand tight and no need for winch handle etc -they look no different to an inspection hatch found on a dinghy -you just need correct size from force 4 - it looks like a 4 inch hatch (in imperial speak) on SVB so maybe order one of these to try out and return if not correct -what’s puzzling is how the mounting ring if secured with 6 screws has parted company with the floor panel in which it is mounted.
