Installing A Kayak Hatch
Спорт
I bought a kayak for my brother in law which only had one hatch. That hatch had a damaged locking mechanism so I bought a pair of batches from amazon. The first one was easy to install because it was a matter of remove and replace. The one in this video was different because there was no hole to put the other one in. Luckily the kayak had a mold in which I was able to cut out and install the other hatch.
I appreciate you guys watching, please leave a comment and like.

XtremeH18 thanks man, I thought I was going to have a hard time but it was pretty easy.
Nice work, Jeff. Simple, easy and quite useful. Just need to get out on the water and make use of it.

Jim M waiting for that day to give that kayak it’s maiden voyage. I gifted that to my brother in law back in December and the only water it’s seen has been from the garden hose
Cool video
Next time, use a Rotozip to cut the hole.
Nice

Looked like a fairly easy and fast install. How did your brother in-law like the new hatch?

Kayak Q it was a fairly quick install. Dremel tool really made it fast. My brother in law was happy he had new hatches, two instead of one now
i found a couple of areas where i can drop my kayak and go fishing during this crisis, but i get lazy or the sun is too hot...lmao

Where did you get that dry bag from?
I'll definitely try it on mine. would you add cault or some sort of sealant as well?

3m has a marine sealant I would recommend using just in case
Two words my dude... Jig Saw (or is that one word... Jigsaw) but either way, thats WAYYY easier next time - AND - you will have a much cleaner cut to try and seal watertight. That rough edge left from all those drill holes will be a pain in the butt to get it to sit flush and seal up so water wont get in your kayak!

In hinesight i know not everyone has a Jig Saw, but since you have a Dremel (aka - A name brand Rotary Cutter) you could just get the router bits for those hand-held guys and it would cut much easier and without the need for drilling 200 pilot holes next time.
