What kind of hatch are you building? Mine is along the lines of Steve Frederick's plans. The hatch seal on his plans is much different that most use.

Here is the link to my hatch build page on my website. If you have any questions or need any other pictures just let me know.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

My design does not have a galley, but if it did, I would go with Steve's plans. They seem completely waterproof and foolproof.

Good pics on his website: http://www.campingclassics.com/diner7.html

Here are some photos of not necessarily the hatch but how I mount it.

Hope it helps.

Hopes this helps.

One very common sense piece of advise I give when asked

"What can I do about Spring Back"?

Use materials that Don't Spring Back.

I use a piece of FRP, good side in for the base and the aluminum over that. Edged with

All materials have a very low "Spring Back" rate.
