What little space that is available becomes accessible with this upgrade. Good share. I see you even upgraded to the f-n sibiki anti snag pocket holders.

Looks good, nice and clean!
When I installed the rectangular hatch on my Outback I was pretty nervous, I measured my lines 56 times. I recall cutting the hole small and slowly making it larger until it fit like a Magnum condom. I will have to assume that you typical gaff your fish on the left side?

Great work. Very clean.
The one thing I miss about the Malibu I had was the massive amount of storage. Those larger hatches really are the bees knees... |

You do this because of the fact that they are dissimilar alloys and will react with each other? |

Screws
Stainless has the unique qualities to WELD Its self . Even when hand tighten too just bout any other metal . Add salt water in the mix makes normal . In to a large issue , care should be taken with dissimilar metals . A Kayak is not a cheap investment

A little protection never hurts, but according to the "Anodic Index" stainless and brass/bronze are compatible and acceptable for use in harsh environments.
