Know before you buy
Check the rubber gasket for any signs of dry rot, cracking, or brittleness, as these can compromise the watertight seal. Additionally, inspect the rim and cover for stress fractures or warping that might prevent a secure fit.
Heritage kayaks have used various hatch sizes over the years. We strongly recommend measuring the opening on your kayak deck and comparing it against the dimensions shown in our product photos before purchasing.
This listing includes the hatch cover, rim, and gasket only. You will likely need to source your own stainless steel screws or rivets and marine-grade sealant to complete the installation.
The gasket is typically a separate component that sits between the rim and the deck of the kayak. If the included gasket is worn, you may be able to replace it with generic weather stripping or foam tape from a hardware store.
Because this is a pre-owned component, we cannot guarantee its compatibility with every Heritage model or its long-term performance under all conditions. Final sale status ensures we can offer these unique, hard-to-find parts at a lower cost.
