never did like the way wellcraft had sheet metal screws holding down the hatch, too easy to strip out, kept loosening up, etc. decided to see if i could improve on this. screwed some aztec board to the stringers, going to drill and tap and put some 1/4-20 stainless screws in them. for the ones on the forward side i had to epoxy some starboard on the lip, bulkhead was to far away.
the "clamps" are pieces of 2" pvc, work great
when i changed out the tank 3 years ago, i had to cut the lip off one side. replaced it with aztec also
epoxy supplies should be here tuesday, tying to get it back together for snapper season,
all 3 days of it
