[Alberg30] Info about Cockpit Sole Hatches

[greg]

I always seam to be sticking my nose in on this topic... Hug. With the need for
a cockpit grate or other safeguard for the protection of a hatch that does not
belong in that location and manufacturs reps. that advise against... why not
just do it right? Spend another $100. Forget the cost of a grating. We are all
so concerned about one hose clamp or two. Thru hull fitting that may fail at
their task. And yet there are those that in the same breath want to put an
unsafe device in the bottom of their cockpit and head out with their family and
friends.  Go figure.....

Kindest Regards- Greg
