Wow that was fast thank you, Do you remember where you bought it from, or how many T-handles and screw holes had?
I'm thinking the one I bought was pretty cheap as it was on sale. I'm guessing it was because it was white... but can't remember where I bought it from. If you check out this link....
http://www.nextag.com/kayak-hatch/products-html they show several but in black. They have two T handles.. like the one I had.. actually it looks the same but I prefered the white so it wouldn't absorb the heat from the sun, but maybe that wouldn't really matter. The hardest part was taking a drill and making the first hole... then I used a jig saw to cut the rectangle part out, (which I kept for making repairs). Just make sure you measure SEVERAL times to make sure exactly where you want it because once you drill or cut... that is it! Then use a dark pencil or marker and draw the outline of the inside part of the rim of the hatch so it will fit snug... then drill the starter hole on the inside of a corner... and then start cutting.
I had to do some fine trimming afterwards to get it to fit better but it was so worth it. I'm NOT going to lie.. I was a nervous wreck when cutting that part out.. but it turned out great and I was thrilled with the ease of getting in side the yak!!! Good luck!!!
Hey!
Would you mind re-posting the link to the cart you built? Or post a photo and instructions?
Your earlier link from the post of 2006 is not working.
I am starting on my AI to set up for fishing, and when the battery ( in a Pelican case) is installed as well as the cooler, six rods w/holders, fishfinder, GPS, etc., the rig will be quite heavy.
Thanks, Buddy!
