4 and 6 Inch Hatch Covers
« on: October 19, 2011, 08:11:30 PM »
Hello All,

I recently added a day hatch to my Current Designs Cypress fiberglass sea kayak.  The kayak already has an 8 inch day hatch behind the cockpit as well as additional hatches fore and aft.  However, I mounted an additional 6 inch hatch just forward of the cockpit and use it to store small items that I don't want to bungee to the deck.  I also ordered the 6 inch cat bag that fits inside the deck ring.  Since the cat bag isn't waterproof, I constructed out of fiberglass glass a small compartment just below the deck to increase watertightness.

I found the hatch and nylon bag at www.yak-gear.com.  Yak Gear also sells kayak hardware, rigging, rudders and related items.
