Tempress Access Slam Hatch – White, 13" x 23"
A large-format, walk-on-rated deck access hatch built for high-traffic areas where a fast, weather-tight seal is essential. The slam latch closes and seals in a single motion — no separate latching step required. Constructed from glass-filled polypropylene for strength and impact resistance, this hatch is rated to support people walking or standing on it, making it well-suited for flush-deck installations on center consoles, bass boats, and pontoons where the opening needs to be large enough for gear, tackle, or equipment access.
- 13" x 23" opening — large-format size for wide access to storage, livewells, or equipment bays
- Slam latch closure — forms a weather-tight seal on closing; no separate latch operation needed
- Glass-filled polypropylene construction — strong, lightweight, and UV-resistant; rated for foot traffic
- Patented integral hinge assembly — allows full lid removal for unobstructed access
- Beveled and skirted lid — covers all fasteners for a clean finish above and below deck
- White finish — blends with standard white deck gelcoat
- Fasteners: Requires 12× #12 pan-head self-tapping screws (not included)
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This is the right hatch when a customer needs a large walk-on-rated opening — typically over a livewell, a deep storage locker, or an equipment bay where the 11" x 15" size would be too restrictive. The slam latch is a meaningful upgrade over a cam-latch hatch in high-use applications because it eliminates the extra step of engaging the latch after closing. At 13" x 23", this is one of the larger slam-latch options in the Tempress lineup and is a common fit for center console and bass boat OEM cutouts in this size class.
