[Public-List] Companionway Hatch

[Tom Dodds]

Winslow, that was the first thing I tried, it appears to be blocked from sliding off by the forward end of the hatch. 
I saw the four tabs that Jonathon mentions but they appear to be inaccessible. I will take a closer look, perhaps I can fit a small offset screwdriver in to remove them.
