At Atkins & Hoyle, we pride ourselves on engineering hatches that outperform the competition in strength, durability, and practicality. The XR200 hatch is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation. Here's why it's a superior choice for boaters:
1. Optimized Dimensions
The XR200 is designed with ideal dimensions to suit a variety of marine applications:
Inside Dimensions: 19 1/2" x 19 1/2" (49.5 x 49.5 cm).
Outside Dimensions: 23" x 23" (58 x 58 cm).
Cast Acrylic Dimensions: 20 11/16" x 20 11/16" (52.5 x 52.5 cm).
These precise measurements ensure a perfect fit for most boat decks, while the generous cast acrylic window provides excellent visibility and light.
2. Superior Material Composition
The XR200 is crafted using an alloy that surpasses stainless steel in strength, while being lighter than aluminum. This unique material offers a range of advantages:
Stronger Than Stainless Steel: Provides unmatched toughness and resilience.
Corrosion-Free: Unlike stainless steel, our alloy will never corrode, ensuring a lifetime of reliability even in harsh marine environments.
Lightweight Design: At just 16 lbs. (7.3 kg), it’s easy to handle and install without sacrificing strength.
3. Standard Support Rod for Added Stability
Every XR200 comes equipped with a standard support rod, providing extra stability and ease of use. The support rod ensures the hatch stays securely in place when open, making it safe and convenient for day-to-day operation.
4. Double Frame, Fully Cast Construction
The XR200 features a double frame, fully cast design, ensuring exceptional rigidity.
