It would be prudent to glass a loop onto the inside of the hatch (it's inside the neoprene, yes?) and run a piece of parachute cord to an attachment point inside the compartment. A lost hatch could be a real disaster. If the neoprene is inside the glass hatch, I guess you'd have to mar the exterior of the boat with a hatch leash. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 19 1998 - 21:20:41 PST
