In Response To: Hatch idea - dumb question (Jay Babina)

: I didn't want to come across as dumb, but I guess I am - how do you open the
: hatch? Once it's on.

: Nice job on a fairly complicated wood project.

Maybe Kyle pries it open with a screwdriver? ;)

On mine, I filed a bit of a recess divot into the hull edge along the hatch so that I could get my finger against the edge of the hatch to lift it up. However, looking through Kyle's photos, I couldn't see if he took the same approach. Everything looks pretty smooth & uniform in his photos.

Cheers,
Bryan
