Jeffrey: I like the Bomar brand hatches. Marine deck plates actualy and quite afordable. the O ring lasted about 5 yrs and are cheap to replace. They are almost flush instalation and only protrude above the deck line about 1/4 inch. The disadvantage is the lids do sink so you need to glue some foam to the backside or tether them from the inside. I get them from Hamilton Marine. here are some links. best: Michael http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/search.htm?searchterm=deck+plate&searchmode=all&s_category=322&oper=lt&searchprice=&DoSearch=Show+Matches&numresults=50&viewfrom=1&step=2 http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse.cfm/4,2534.html http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/prodimg/BOM-PRESSINB.JPG *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
