Hatches

[Mark Sr]

Has anyone installed a hatch in the rear area of the swim platform on a TM or Osprey.If so do you get any water in the bilge splashing in through the hatch cover.I have wires to get to and the hose came off my fish box pump and there's no room to get it back on?If I put a hatch cover there I'll have acess to the rear of boat.I'm also worried if it will weaken transom area.

Hi Pete
Do you have any leaking into bilge area with the pie plate.I don't want any fish slime leaking into bilge area to make it smell.It sounds like a good idea.Is it mounted on the side wall of the fish box?

[pete]

Yep,inside the fish box,sealed the mounting ring with 4200 doesnt leak

[Mark Sr]

Pete,what's the one under the plate?What size is the plate?
