Hi Bill and fellow Potterers:

Please enlighten us on what you did here. Sukoshi, P-15 #1044 a 1980 hull,
has aluminum hatch slides as well. She spent most of her life <since new
'til last June> in Nevada so I attributed the hatch sliding problem to the
fine Nevada sand that was everywhere as she was sans hatchboards/door. I was
planning to drill out the pop-rivets this spring and figure out how to
resolve this binding issue. Did you simply shim up the slides to allow more
room for the hatch?
