The Empacher hatch hooks (old model) are original Empacher components for rowing boats. These hooks are used as mounting hardware for the rowing boat hatch and ensure that the hatch cover stays attached to the boat when opened.

The hatch of a rowing boat provides access to the buoyancy compartments located in the bow or stern of the boat. With these hatch hooks the hatch cover can remain attached to the boat while open in the boathouse. Opening the hatches during storage allows the buoyancy compartments to ventilate and dry properly, helping to prevent moisture from remaining inside the boat.

This version is suitable for small, medium or large Empacher hatch systems (older fine-thread models). Due to wear or loss of the original hooks it may be necessary to replace these parts.
