I prefer the screw out ones so you don’t need a tool to open them up.
This one looks pretty close. Mine is a pry-out, but without any identifying marks. It's a dark brown with some non-slip, but doesn't say Empress anywhere. I wish it did.Because if it's pry-out, this one might be worth a look: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313202181943?epid=1647285618&hash=item48ec4e0737:g:N~UAAOSw1g1fTVRi
Grand Banks, Stuart, FL. (877) 291-4220 Parts is prompt 3.
Yeah, unless GB can give you a heads-up on the brand of that hatch, it looks like it'd going to be difficult to find one in brown (or whatever they called that color).

I'm embarrassed I didn't look for it, but it turns out there were no markings of any kind to indicate maker. I did get through to Garrett at Grand Banks parts in Stuart, Fla and he opined that he would look into it, but was not optimistic.
I went ahead and ordered the one on the the link above on Ebay and it is as close as anything I saw. I first tried to go through Defender, but they were back-ordered.
Thanks very much for the link. Very helpful. I don't think I would have found this on my own as I don't look much on Ebay.

They were able to provide me with an o-ring for the existing deck plate for the tiller on our 1992 GB 36. It looks like they have several sizes and colors of pry-up deck plates.
Good luck!

Hi Tim
On my 1988 36’ the plate is marked on the reverse:

Hope this helps
