Rectangular hatch?

Inside Opening Dimensions: 8-1/8" x 12" (There's a little lip that the hatch lid rests on when it's closed, so I measured it there since that's the narrowest the opening gets)



(In the pics the measurements look off because of the angle of the camera)



I'd also say to make sure there is nothing structural in that section of the kayak before you cut into it. My Passport has two structural foam blocks on either side of the hatch meant to support weight if someone is standing up there. But the hatch fits between them just fine and I didn't have to alter them in any way.



Hope this helps!

Thanks man!! Looks like I’m back to the garage to see what I got.


Where did you fish? How did you do?
