Hobie Twist-N-Seal Hatch

The Hobie Twist-N-Seal Hatch put a unique ‘twist’ on traditional kayak hatches. The Twist-N-Seal locking mechanism ensures that the hatch seals quickly and effectively every time and a hinging lid has a rubber gasket around the edge to stay dry. Upgrade your existing hatch to the 6” or 8” designs with a Hatch Retrofit Kit that includes everything you need to install an easy-to-use watertight hatch. Replace a worn out gaskets in your hatch with a new o-ring for the hatch lid or a new mount gasket for the drilled hatch port.

Detailed Product Description

Hobie hatches are designed to have a better seal. The lids also hinge open, so you never lose the lid. Designed with a cork-screw-like mechanism for closure, a simple twist of the handle opens or closes the hatch. As the screw pulls down the hatch, you get a tight seal on the “O Ring” seal against the inner cylinder. The hatch seals around the edge of the cylinder and does not have to be held down against a flat surface to seal. This allows the hatch to seal even if the lid is partially open or tipped. Flip the handle into the recess to “lock” it closed. Available in 6” and 8” diameters. These hatches are now standard equipment on all Hobie Kayaks. *Retrofit kits include gaskets (and 2 screws for the 8”).
