The Sea-Dog Screw Out Deck Plate with clear
polycarbonate lid allows visual inspection of watertight
compartments, storage lockers and fuel fittings without
removing the lid. Use silicone sealant on hull or deck surface
when installing the deck plate. Lubricate with Teflon grease
or Vaseline and clean with hot, soapy water. Note: Avoid
contact with acetone or strong solvents.
Above is Will Hladik's Musicbox2. He has cleverly used one of our 5" clear deckplates as a portlight.

Subject: Great idea for
opening ports
Chuck,
Just came across a great idea for low-cost opening ports. To give credit
where credit is due, the idea came from the website of Wes and Anna
Kisting ( http://www.roguepaddler.com/boat.htm ).
On the Pocket Cruiser
that they built for a honeymoon cruise, they used clear
watertight inspection hatches with some mosquito netting glued onto
the rim to keep out the bugs. I see from your catalog that you carry the
clear inspection
hatches (and that Wes and Anna were not the only ones to think of
using them for opening ports). Still, I think it’s a good enough idea to give it
a bit more exposure.
Fair winds,
Chris Stewart
