What do you call the floor hatch that is primarily a square or oval ring with a carpeted board that is hingeless. I need to buy the stainless ring. I had to cut out a piece of the floor in my cabin to access and make a repair. But I want to keep that area accessible. I remember seeing these floor panels in smaller speed boats. Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for, I keep striking out. I keep finding floor storage hatches with hinges. This panel has to be able to be walked on and not noticed.:confused:

A flush ring catch may be what you're looking for.

Close. I need the perimeter ring that supports the board that is removed by grabbing those rings.

Looks like you can buy it in straight rail and it gets bent to shape:

I got a screaming deal on a complete ski locker for my boat on ebay. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New Boat/DSCF2506.jpg It was a complete hatch including the trim ring which is more than you need but it may be the best route for you to take. Search ebay for "ski locker", "ski hatch" or something like that.
