Star Pattern Deck Plate

Can You Hadle This?

Ever tried to open a traditional deck plate or deck fill cap when there's a pressure build up? Kinda next to impossible right?

This new deck plate from Mariners Hardware solves that problem and will have you seeing stars - literally. The star pattern cap and new T-handle design give you better leverage, plus it's the same pattern used in standard winches, so when things get really tough (or you can't find the T-handle) you can use your winch handle to open it.

What a concept!
