Lenco HL-1600S 16" Hatch Lift Short - 29" to 45" 12V

The Lenco HL-1600S 16" Hatch Lift Short is a 12-volt electric hatch opener designed for boat owners who demand reliable, hands-free access to cabin, storage, or engine compartment hatches. Built for vessels with length-overall between 29 and 45 feet, this system eliminates the awkward manual lifting and propping that slows down boarding and reduces accessibility on the water. Whether you're running a center console, cruiser, or cabin boat, a quality hatch lift transforms daily operation and adds genuine convenience—especially valuable when your hands are full with lines, gear, or helm control.

This Lenco marine hatch lift features a clutchless ball screw design that prevents drift and binding while running in perfect synchronization on dual-lift applications—a critical detail for larger hatches that demand balanced, simultaneous opening. The actuator is constructed from clear anodized aluminum tubing, which resists saltwater corrosion and maintains structural integrity even in harsh marine environments. Each unit ships complete with a 2-foot lead and Deutsch plug connector, ready for straightforward integration into your vessel's 12-volt electrical system. The 16-inch stroke length accommodates standard hatch depths while the short profile keeps the installed footprint compact.

Professional captains, charter operators, and serious cruising boaters benefit most from this system's reliability and smooth operation under repeated daily use. Installation works on single or dual-hatch setups, making it ideal for retrofit upgrades to older boats or new builds requiring redundant access points. The 12-volt draw integrates seamlessly with standard marine battery banks, and the corrosion-resistant aluminum construction ensures years of maintenance-free service in saltwater, freshwater, or trailered environments. Verify your hatch opening dimensions fall within the 29" to 45" length-overall range to ensure optimal performance.
