Sea-Dog Quarter-Turn Textured Deck Plate w/Internal Collar - White - 5"

The Sea-Dog Quarter-Turn Textured Deck Plate with Internal Collar in white is a 5-inch marine access solution designed for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliable deck storage and compartment access. Whether you're rigging a center console, cabin cruiser, or sport fishing boat, this deck plate provides secure, weatherproof entry to below-deck storage while withstanding the constant flexing, vibration, and salt spray of life on the water. The textured finish ensures reliable grip even when hands are wet, a critical safety feature during active boating operations.

Constructed from UV-stabilized ABS plastic, the Sea-Dog deck plate resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure and maintains integrity in saltwater and freshwater environments. The innovative quarter-turn locking system eliminates common failure points: over-tightening cracks the collar, jamming strips the threads, and cross-threading destroys the seal—this design prevents all three. The internal collar design distributes load evenly across the deck opening, reducing stress concentration and extending service life on fiberglass, aluminum, or composite hulls. The textured surface provides anti-slip security, critical when accessing storage in heavy seas or during deck work.

This 5-inch deck plate suits mid-size boat installations where standard storage compartments, battery boxes, or through-hull access points require durable, tamper-proof covers. Installation is straightforward on new builds or retrofit applications; the internal collar seats flush against the deck substrate, minimizing water pooling and maintaining a clean cabin profile. Anglers benefit from secure storage of tackle, safety gear, and electronics; cruisers appreciate reliable access to engine compartments and battery banks. The white finish coordinates with modern boat aesthetics while remaining visible in low-light conditions for safety.
