Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Long Reach Hatch Hinge
Sea-Dog 316 Stainless Long Reach Hatch Hinge — Product description
This is the Sea-Dog long reach hatch hinge, machined from 316 stainless steel and built to shrug off salt spray for years. It ships as a single hinge with the clevis pin and split ring already included, so you can swap out a corroded hinge or rig up a new hatch without hunting down extra hardware.
The Sea-Dog long reach hatch hinge is a straightforward piece of deck hardware that does one job and does it well. It's machined from 316 stainless steel, the marine grade you want anywhere salt spray reaches, and it measures 3-1/2 inches long by 2-7/8 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches tall. That long reach profile is the whole point. The extra span lets a hatch lid clear a raised lip, a thick coaming, or a gasket without binding, so the lid sits flush when it's closed and swings clean when it's open.
316 stainless is the reason this hinge earns its keep. It handles salt water and salt air far better than plated or lower grade steel, so you won't get the rust streaks that bleed down a gelcoat deck and stain everything below them. Wipe it down now and then and it'll stay bright for years. That corrosion resistance matters most on hardware that lives out in the weather, and a hatch hinge lives out there every day.
It ships as a single hinge with the clevis pin and split ring already included. So if you're replacing one tired, seized hinge, this is a clean drop-in. If you're rigging a new hatch or a locker lid, remember it's sold one at a time. Most hatches want a pair, so order two. Nothing worse than getting halfway through a job and coming up one hinge short.
Where does it go? Deck hatches, anchor lockers, seat lockers, engine access panels, live wells, any lid that takes a beating and needs to keep opening smoothly. The clevis pin and split ring setup means you can pull the pin and lift the lid right off when you need full access underneath, then drop it back on in seconds. It's a small detail that makes cleaning and maintenance a lot easier.
If you're matching an existing pair, measure your old hinge first and check the bolt pattern against your hatch. This one's built for a long reach application, so it isn't the right pick for a flush, tight-mount lid. But for the job it's made for, it's honest, simple gear that'll outlast a lot of the boat around it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this hinge sold as a pair or a single?
It's sold as a single hinge and includes the clevis pin and split ring. Most hatches use two hinges, so order a pair if you're doing a fresh install or replacing both sides.
What is the hinge made of?
316 stainless steel, the corrosion-resistant marine grade. It stands up to salt water and salt air far better than plated or lower grade steel, so it won't rust-streak your deck.
What does long reach mean on this hinge?
It has an extended span so the hatch lid can clear a raised lip, a thick coaming, or a gasket without binding. That lets the lid sit flush when closed and swing cleanly when open.
What are the dimensions?
3-1/2 inches long by 2-7/8 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches tall. Measure your existing hinge and check the bolt pattern against your hatch before ordering.
Does it come with mounting screws?
It includes the clevis pin and split ring. Mounting fasteners aren't listed with it, so plan to supply your own screws or bolts sized to your hatch and mounting surface.
Can I lift the hatch lid off completely?
Yes. Pull the split ring and slide out the clevis pin, and the lid lifts right off for full access underneath. Drop the pin back in and re-fit the ring to reattach it in seconds.
