| - | Try a 4" Sea Dog deck plate [[http://www.sea-dog.com/PDF/337140.pdf|http://www.sea-dog.com/PDF/337140.pdf]] . Exact same as the Huki hatch (Viking brand) including hole pattern, except that the gasket can be replaced when it wears out. On the Sport 4" should work; the main thing is to keep it well above the water line. I removed and filled in the existing vent (then you can mount the hatch higher); I drilled a small hole in the middle of the hatch as a vent (through a nipple inside the center of the hatch) and covered it with slotted velcro to hold my gps (keeps rain from dripping in but still vents). The Sport will have a spline inside, be careful of this when you cut (cut two half circles first, then cut the spline one inch in). If you want a fat bag, cut out just a little more of the spline, the less the better (I don't use one, mine is just for drying). Don't use silicone as a sealant (Sterling's advice, which I always take). The hatch keeps my boat dry as a bone in between sessions, which is a good thing. Consider letting Sterling put it in, he did mine, its worth it. Good luck.\\ | + | Try a 4" Sea Dog deck plate [[https://sea-dog.com/search?utf8=✓&search_string=deck+plate&x=0&y=0|Seadog.com]] .
