Pre-Built Welded Dry Hatch Lid with Waterproof Drainage System from Nate's Custom Boats

WE CANNOT ADD A PRE-INSTALLED LATCH OR POWDER COAT to a QUICK SHIP LID - Quick Ship lids are pre-packaged, on the shelf, ready to ship. Because of this, you will lose the option to add a latch or powder coat. If you order a Quick Ship lid and also add on a latch or powder coat, the latch and/or powder coat cost will be refunded to you.

 

*NEW QUICK SHIP LID SIZES AVAILABLE*

Skip the Line for our most popular lid sizes - see options in size dropdown above.



These lids are built to order. "Pre-Build" means they are fully assembled and ready to drop in once you get them (unless purchasing carpet gap).

*ALL Standard Sizes are on a 4 Week Lead Time for Production*

Quick Ship (In Stock) Lids Available in Limited Size Options - For EVA TURF & PAINT ONLY - No Carpet Gap Lids are quick ship

*PowderCoat adds 1-2 week lead time*

Just drop in your deck and rivet or screw it down for a strong, flex free, and waterproof dry hatch system. Includes Pre-assembled hinge and welded boat deck hatch lid. Strong, lightweight, and easy to install. Get your boat build finished in no time! 

Made of heavy duty .125" Aluminum - they are strong enough for even the biggest passengers on your boat deck. 

Carpet Lids will not come prebuilt - You need to add the hatch frame to your framing, apply the decking, carpet the decking and the track system as one. Carpet the lids separately, then attach the hinge to the lid then the track system using provided countersink rivets.      

Countersink rivets are suggested to attach the track system to the deck framing, these are not included.

REAR HATCH - 3 sided Dry Hatch with extended Dry Track on two sides that butt-up to your transom. This will allow space between the lid and transom to run fuel lines or bilge pump hoses through if need. Also, you DO NOT need a latch with a rear lid!

  • Pre-Drilled 2.5" Hole for Standard WhiteCap, Perko or TH Marine Latches

Great drop in

Lid was top quality. Liked the nice wide lip around the outside. Worked great

Awesome hatch!!!!

Bought for the front casting deck I’m fabricating. Fits great, super super easy to rivet in to place, with plenty of width around the edges to run a rivet row with countersync. Will definitely be purchasing more hatches from here for the rest of my build. Very high quality product with great welds.

16x20 dry hatch

Took a long time to get but was worth it. Have a 2025 Grizzly 1860CC boat that I'm doin a bunch of fab work to and wanted to redo all my wiring for electronics differently. Originally had all the trollin motor batteries up front (Blue Top agm boat anchor batteries) and then sold my new Riptide trollin motor I had and got the new Garmin Force Pro that just came out and come to find out, it's really setup for only lithium batteries because how the battery level system works on it, it'll be tricked into thinkin batteries are goin dead when u have the motor on for like 10 seconds and it'll turn prop off itself and then the battery level will jump back to green again. Lithium batteries have a flat discharge rate so they don't take voltage down some when the motor is running which in return would allow you to run the new force pro wide open as long as you want to until batteries are completely dead. So needless to say I sold my optima batteries and got two Powerhouse lithium 36V 60ah batteries and run them in parallel and got the powerhouse lithium special on board charger that charges one 12v lead battery, a 36V lithium, and one 16V lithium battery (I have a 16V powerhouse lithium 80ah battery that only powers my big garmin screens and my livescope box). If you know anything about the grizzly 1860cc boats, they have extremely limited storage space, so I moved all my batteries in the boat to the back compartment and had the tiny boat nation 16x20 dry hatch lid made and my cousin built me a drop in box that actually boxes in the hole for the compartment and I installed it right next to the back
compartment and that's where my on-board charger sits in and also my Livescope box. I drilled a 1¾" hole through the box and through my boats back compartment side wall and ran all my wires through it to my batteries n such and then ordered a boat EFX wire trap cover to cover the hole to make it look professional and clean. Now when I need to charge everything in the boat, I just walk to the back of my boat and open that new dry hatch lid and the on-board charger plug in cord is right there easily available and I plug it into the wall outlet on side of the shop and it charges everything at once in my boat. This investment opened up so much more space in my boat and I still have room for 2 more lithium batteries if I ever wanted them in the back. Also too, opened up my front compartment too to put life jackets or whatever else in it. Will be ordering the same size dry hatch lid again to go on the opposite side of boat where battery compartment is so it looks even and matches the other side. I got the raw aluminum finish and no hole cutout or anything and then drilled the hole myself for lock and bought a black locking white cap brand lock and it worked flawlessly. I predrilled holes for rivets and then I used my blasting cabinet on it to prep for prime and paint and then used self etchin primer and then used Rustoleum truck bed Liner spray for the paint and man it turned out sexy as hell. Also installed a gas strut on it too. Highly recommend. Will be buyin another exactly like I got like I mentioned above and also two 12x24 ones for the front deck for tackle.
