use 3/4" PVC board NOT STARBOARD. PVC can be glued, cut ,screwed,sanded & painted like wood but no rot!

MUST BE MADE IN 2 PIECES
1. Make a template via carboard from inside
2. Cut your piece to size
3. Measure and cut out your access hatch to size
4. Now cut the new bulkhead piece verticaly down the center line into two equal pieces.
5. Install by screwing each piece from inside to the cap and inner liner edges. Line up the the center line & Use PVC cement to glue the two pieces together. (Epoxy paste to hide center line saw cuts at top and bottom of hatch)
6. Sand and paint new bulkhead and hatch pieces, caulk around outside liner edges after install.
7. Reinstall the hatch cutout with a SS piano hinge & latch

Gucci all the way !
