Maybe this will help you. I was told by a reputable boat shop not to use any kind of sealer or resin on the wood. Use pressure treated plywood, the glue will stand up to marine conditions. You want any moisture that gets to the wood to eitehr soak thru or evaporate as your boat dries, sealers will retard the drying. Note the photo where I made my own hatch and enclosed a Rubbermaid tub for dry storage. Perko hinges completed the job, I used aluminum U channel around the edges to stiffen it up a bit. Cabelas also sells pre-made hatches and bins, they are costly. PM me if you need any help, and BTW, always use stainless steel bolts, screws, deck screws. m | |
