 Installing watertight bulkhead hatches

The watertight bulkhead hatches were installed, they will be loosely tightened down on the seal and will be able to be really tightly sealed if there is any collision. The reason they will be loosely sealed is that if they are really tight the air inside can expand or contract causing a pressure difference, depending on the temp and water temp. They will have blue Dow Corning wallmate roofmate foam inside for positive buoyancy.


This is the bow collision bulkhead, as built the bottom is well above the DWL, and the opening is big enough that I can get easily inside to do things, check things.the rear hatches are the same, I am able to reach easily inside to do, fix, check, and repair things.
