Bruce,
I have an older P19 (1989). My port forward hatch is only about 7-8 inches
long and is not a plastic type hatch but a cut out of wood backed
fiberglass. I decided after listening to strings of it onthe list, to cut
a similar hatch in the starboard side just forward of the porta pottie. It
went well but I was dissappointed--not a ver big compartment and it was
filled with styro blocks. (the cut piece was kind of thin and I used
aluminum length in the 4 corners diagnally so the cut out piece would nt
fall in when placed back--cut out a finger hole to remove the cut out hatch.
I dont have a cooler hatch which is a newer option and I think a very good
one. I just bought a long plastic hatch on ebay for $25 or so and plan to
use it either to replace my port forward hatch with more of what you ahve
for a cooler or better access in, or put it in the forward part of one of
the quarter berths under the cushion, so I can access that space for
storage (like the oar, and life jackets that seem to always take up my q
berth space.
