As soon as I come up with an excuse to drop my outback off I'll be giving you a call.

[roadx]

ok..... whats the depth of the bucket ?

[finyak]

That's too cool,I've always wondered why they had the round hatch.I want one for sure.

[jbaker]

I have two questions regarding the install on the outback, first the mirage drive tie down and pad eye loctated on either side of the round hatch, ae you going over them or off setting the hatch! It looks like the out side edge of the hatch will only cover half the threaded hole. Secondly, the round hatch has a lip on the rear 1/2" from the edge of the hatch rim. It looks like in the picture your stratling the lip, won't that leave a void under the hatch and not letting the hatch seal properly?

Andy...Does Brent have any of those buckets for the pa 12..???

[Iceman]

buckets are 5" deep, here is another angle to show you how it will sit. The new 2013 even have the 4 corners dimpled to show you where to drill out.

Brent does not have em Eric, but I can get you one.

They don't have them at mission?

Thanks for the picture! Do the center hatch screws at the 12/6 positions line up with the PA trim ring?

[Iceman]

It looks like those existing holes should line up. Once I get around to installing one I'll confirm.

[walrus]

Will it fit an Oasis, I keep looking at the pictures and looks like it might.

If the answer is "yes", will Mission Bay be able to install?

The revo is not wide enough and the contour of the area where the round hatch is would not fit the hatch as its flat. You could however install it in the back length wise.
My concern with the conversion for the out back is the structural integraty of the top deck after you remove all the surface area

[Iceman]

the structural integraty of the top deck after you remove all the surface area

This would be a problem...........if you cut the hole and then did not install the hatch

[JNAST13ST]

How much would it cost to ship it down to San Diego?

[bbarton13]

i wonder if you would be able to put this hatch on the older pa 14. and get rid of the raised hatch?

[Iceman]

You can not swap out the original Pro Anglers hatch for the new rec hatch, even if it was turned sideways it would not work..........I checked for someone awhile back.
