WS Round Orbix Hatch Kit (2009 - 2014)

Best used as a replacement round Orbix hatch for Wilderness Systems kayaks made before 2015. Can be used for new custom hatch installations on any kayak with the allowable deck space. Outside diameter is 9.75 inches (not including the hinge). The working opening (ID) is approximately 8 1/4 inches. Deck cut-out approximately 8 9/16 inches. From the center of the 3 O’Clock screw to the center of the 9 O’Clock screw is 9 3/16 inches. Comes with foam rubber deck gasket and mounting screws. You may be better served by using clear silicone sealant under the rim/flange. Foam rubber gaskets will compress over time and fail. See how to at Installing A Kayak Hatch. Not bucket compatible. Hatch cover closes with a latch and seals water tight. Orbix hatch kits and replacement hatch parts (latches and gaskets) are available separately. This kit is best for replacement of a damaged rim or cover. XXX
