[Alberg30] Info about Cockpit Sole Hatches

[FINNUS505 at aol.com]

On the access hatch info;

Aluminum is the best, of course, but is pricy.

The plastic hatches are not strong enough to withstand a jump or fall from 
cockpit height, so protecting with a strong cockpit grating or other cover is 
needed.

10x20 will barely give enough clearance to do to what the access panel is 
meant to do.  Go to a marine store that carries these, and try to pass an 
opened hatch over your head and shoulders, and imagine doing that upside down 
on a rolling boat while trying to get a sleeve over something torn or broken 
and leaking back there.

Ain't this fun???    :)
