Is There an Overlap on the Hatch?

[John6012]

I've tried posting this before but appartently it didn't take. I apologize if I've posted twice. Is there an overhang of the hatch lid over the sides?

yup, there is on mine...that is where the seals go...between that overhang and the sides, sealing the galley........

I've been updating my web site and just added a picture showing the overhang. I have about 3/4" of overhang on mine.



The weatherseal sits on the overhang, which seals on the top of the sides. I used a router with a flush trimming bit to make it follow the sides once the hatch was installed.

Check out the Generic Benroy Plans (at the top of the page). The hatch section has some good information for you!!!
