G'Day Scott,
			Well of course I should have said the dealer lives in Australia not
America and sadly we are equally sue happy. My preferred response would be
to try and pressure the shop to replace the hatches and rims particularly as
the boat was sold at the sort of fair price you would expect for a properly
made sea kayak. I guess I was just blowing off steam and exasperation as
well as trying to point out a hazard I hadn't thought of. By the way most of
the dealers I've come across over here are excellent, this was an exception.

All the best, PeterO
Australia
