Actually I saw a clear one at Boater's World this last week.

: Another option is a Beckson pry-out hatch, which might be a bit easier to use
: at sea. Betsie Bay Kayaks has use them on their production stitch&glue
: kayaks as standard-issue for a number of years. They're about the same
: size ~6". There's a large O-ring around the hatch lid, and you just
: push the lid into the bezel. BBK installs a small knob on the edge to make
: removal easier -- just pull up. I think you can find these at West Marine.
: One drawback is that they're white, but BBK just recently started mounting
: them under the deck with the cut-out epoxied to the lid for a nice, flush
: look.
