Vetus Altus & Magnus Deck Hatches
In this video the Vetus Altus and Magnus deck hatches that available through Alfab are showcased and demonstrated. The Vetus Altus deck hatch is a low profile unit, meaning it does not sit very far above the deck of the boat, whereas the Magnus deck hatch is a high profile unit sitting further above the vessel deck. Both hatches are weather resistant, have hinges allowing them to open within a range of approximately 120 to 180 degrees, and both models match industry standard cut out sizes.
