Polar does not give specific weight capacities for their hinges as the dimensions of the door would make a specific number too difficult to state as well as different applications might carry the weight differently. Like if you had a 20 lb door that was 2 feet wide vs. a 20 lb door that was 5 feet wide. The hinges would have more stress on them with the wider door due to the additional leverage. You'll have to use your best judgment but for a boat hatch two of the # PLR3408-PS would work well. These are stainless steel and pretty heavy duty. See attached review video for more info as well.

Answer 1

The Polar Flush Hinge - Stainless Steel #PLR104SS is not rated for a specific weight because you can simply add more hinges as needed to support the weight of the door. The screws used and the door material will greatly impact the weight capacity.
