In Response To: Seeking: Bomar Deck Plates (Mike Bielski)

I used Beckson pryout hatches and they worked well. I had breather holes drilled in the bulkheads and never had a problem with the hatches coming loose from pressure or rough water. Haven't tried the Bomar hatches so I can't comment on them.

: Good use on a kayak? I think someone said they'd used them,
: maybe Don Goss?
