Hi Lee

To hold down the hatches i uses plastic looks that I buy from a Swede Kayak maker firm called VKV. They don't cost very much and woorks great, most Swede home builders use them. You can make you own from some hard wood. The gasket is a 5x10mm epdm rubber gasket

The Hatch is made of 40x4mm plywood strips
