It is offered in 2-1\/2 in. and 3 in. round sizes, with cast stainless steel construction, a polished finish, and a concealed fastener layout that keeps the installed look tidy on deck, in the cockpit, or around storage areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle can be mounted vertically or horizontally, which makes it useful on a wide range of marine openings. Its stainless steel shaft uses a bushing and twin Nitrile O-rings to help reduce water penetration at the handle mechanism, an important detail for hardware exposed to spray, washdowns, and wet hands on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound lifting handle for marine hatches, lids, compartments, doors, and access panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast stainless steel construction for use in demanding marine hardware applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished stainless finish gives the handle a clean appearance on visible deck and cockpit surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel shaft with bushing and twin Nitrile O-rings helps protect against water entering through the handle assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver-center anti-rattle handle helps reduce movement and noise when the boat is underway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed fastener design keeps mounting hardware out of sight and reduces exposed snag points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls vertically or horizontally to suit the opening, panel layout, and available hand clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth sizes use #8 screws for installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Latch-tite lifting handle is offered in two round size configurations. The main difference is the handle diameter and the related cutout and depth dimensions needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth variants share the same round stainless steel Latch-tite handle style, polished finish, anti-rattle handle design, concealed fastener approach, and #8 screw requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF16-2500, Size 2.5-Inch. This version has a 2-1\/2 in. diameter, 5\/32 in. edge thickness, 1-3\/4 in. adjust depth, 2-1\/16 in. hole size, and 2-5\/8 in. overall depth, making it the smaller option for tighter hatch or compartment layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF16-3000, Size 3-Inch. This version has a 3 in. round diameter, 3\/32 in. edge thickness, 2-7\/8 in. adjust depth, 2-9\/16 in. hole size, and 3-13\/16 in. overall depth, giving more handle size where the panel and clearance allow it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore cutting or drilling, check the available panel thickness, back-side clearance, hole size, and overall depth for the selected variant. The 3 in. version needs a larger hole and more depth behind the surface than the 2-1\/2 in. version, so the size choice should be matched to the hatch, lid, or door construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is suitable for horizontal or vertical mounting, so it can be aligned with the way the opening is used. On frequently opened lockers or hatches, confirm that nearby cushions, hinges, trim, and gasket areas will not interfere with the handle travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handle is a good match for builders, refit projects, and owners replacing worn hatch or compartment hardware with a polished stainless round handle. It works especially well where a clean finished look matters, such as cockpit lockers, deck access panels, storage lids, and other visible marine openings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"2.5-Inch","offer_id":52023144906933,"sku":"QBP446360-V1","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-Inch","offer_id":52023144939701,"sku":"QBP446360-V9","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335275_qbp446360.webp?v=1780191793","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp446360","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
