Description
Article no.: BFR-2401
The Freeman Marine Model 8 (2401 Series) is a compact, heavy-duty round deck hatch featuring an 8-inch (203 mm) clear opening. Designed for true flush mounting, it integrates smoothly into the deck surface, preventing tripping hazards and eliminating standing water or debris accumulation around the coaming.
Featuring Freeman's field-proven compression sealing technology, a resilient gasket fitted in the coaming groove seals tightly and 100% watertight against the flat machined underside of the cover plate. Unlike knife-edge hatches, compression seal hatches do not require external coaming drain tubes and resist impact damage during deck loading.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 8" (203 mm) clear opening – convenient access for inspection, tank soundings, and valve operation.
- Lift-out cover plate – easily removed entirely for unobstructed access in tight spaces.
- Compression seal design – clean coaming base without water traps or vulnerable sealing edges.
- Rugged cast marine-grade aluminum cover with stainless steel dogging components.
- Quick-acting dogging mechanism operated by Freeman deck key or handle.
- Available as a complete unit with weldable aluminum ring or as a replacement cover plate only.
Available Configurations (select above):
- Complete unit with aluminum deck ring (Part No: 2401-0002)
- Cover plate assembly only, without deck ring (Part No: 2401-1001)
