Specifications

Installation

The MAGNUS Escape Hatch is designed for ease of installation, compatible with existing hull and deck structures. Its conformity with current market cut-out sizes ensures a straightforward fit. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines to maintain the integrity and watertightness of the hatch.
