[Public-list] Sea Hood - Companionway Cover Cover

[Mike Lehman]

It diverts water away from the main hatch and in really heavy weather helps 
to keep water out of the cabin. From a safety standpoint, it gives you a 
place to stand when the hatch is open so you don't have this big hole. It 
also provides a place to attach things like dodgers. It is bolted on - I'll 
take a picture and send it to George so he can post it.
