In Response To: Hatches & Magnets (grant)

: Thanks for the photo David, that looks cleaner than using a pull. You
: mentioned that another 1 or 2 magnets per hatch might be an improvement.
: Would you still be able to open the rear hatch while in the cockpit?

: I do not know what kind of conditions you paddle in but would your current
: magnet count keep the hatch secure in choppy, breaking waves?

: grant (hoping to start scarfing panels for my Cirrus this weekend)

I used magnets on my spring run and ended up using reccessed fittings. I turned out that it was a little hard to get my fingers on the recess so I tied a loop of 3/16 inch line to around the dowel pin.
