[Public-List] Cockpit Access Hatch

[Zachary Smith]

I installed the 15x24 Freeman from Fisheries:

Here's some pics of the install. I cut out the hole with a hacksaw blade
wrapped in duct tape while swinging on the hook (that saw hangin' there was
a fail, couldn't make the radius). Took about 30 mins of cursing, but ain't
that bad.

The worst part about this was paying $640 for the hatch.
