About Rabud
Rabud, Inc. has been engineering high-quality marine hardware from its home base in Dania Beach, Florida since 1976. The company was born out of a real-world problem on the water: the rectangular wooden deck hatches common to boats of the era were prone to cracking, warping, and offered virtually no water-tightness. A forward-thinking boat manufacturer set out to do better, and Rabud was the result. Nearly five decades later, that same commitment to practical, purpose-built solutions continues to drive every product the company makes.
A Legacy Built on Solving Real Marine Problems
Rabud's product development has always followed the needs of working boat builders and serious boaters. After establishing themselves with rectangular deck hatches — starting with the classic 10x20 and adding the smaller 7x11 for tighter access points — they expanded to round deck hatches and eventually pioneered their innovative Twist-n-lock deck hatches featuring a cam-action locking mechanism for a drier, more secure fit. Each step forward was driven by a specific gap in what was available to the marine industry.
That same problem-solving philosophy led to one of Rabud's most recognized innovations: the SeaScupper. Where older flapper-style scuppers fell short, Rabud engineered a self-bailing transom drain that uses a solid polypropylene ball and long-life PVC gasket to automatically bail deck water and then seal to prevent intrusion. Built from UV-stabilized polycarbonate, SeaScuppers are designed to hold up in the harshest saltwater and freshwater environments for years of dependable use.
Engineered for Boat Manufacturers and Enthusiasts
What sets Rabud apart is that their products were designed from the outset to meet the standards of professional boat manufacturers — not just aftermarket replacements. Their engineering tolerances, material selection, and product breadth reflect the demands of the boatbuilding industry, which means individual boaters benefit from the same quality standards demanded by OEM production lines. Rabud's product range spans deck hatches, scuppers and drains, cover plates, tackle compartments, washdown systems, and more — all purpose-built for the marine environment.
Whether you're a boat builder sourcing components for a new build or an owner replacing aging hardware, Rabud's lineup offers the kind of fit, durability, and design integrity that keeps boats performing season after season.
