Went out yesterday using the new hatch cover. Each time I take it off, it makes a suction kind of sound - I'm thinking it has a good seal. There was little surf, so no waves crashing over to check for water leakage.

Some of my observations, keep in mind I have not purchased any mounts or accessories to use with the new hatch....

I miss the cup holder. Maybe there is a ram mount for bottles?
The slide tray underneath had to go, I was missing it for a bit, but then I just threw my bag of tools in the hull instead.
It is much more solid, so scooting up and sitting on it I don't get the sense that I'm going to make it buckle and fall through and damage something.
