Default Hatch Ideas

Guys - Was wondering if you could give me some ideas on hatch holding ideas. I am thinking something stainless with a quick screw down. Was wondering if you have any pics or suggestions.

For a Razor 45

Any suggestion or ideas is appreciated

Thanks

Coop

I like the "O-ring" method, the Orings will break in a crash without too much damage.

Thanks Mike - Are you using the bolt method or using the plastic mounts on boat and hatch.

Do you use 30 minute epoxy or resin and fiberglass for the rods in front

I am pretty new at this so excuse the questions.

Can anyone point me to more pics on the bolt method of holding the hatch down - is it as simple as using a cap screw with washer and nut.

Do you use resin or epoxy for the rods in front of hatch

thanks

Hi,
have you thought about using rear earth magnets?
You have the safety of them letting go instead of ripping the cowl apart and easy to get it off to start!
