Obviously there is some flex at the fuel tank hatch opening, but will adding a new, stiff tank hatch be enough to remove the flex? Should I include some braces elevated across the fuel tank to help with this?
Why not re-core the old hatch?

My `89 was about 1/2 " to 1" gap there. I'm having a hard time understanding how
that makes any sense. Has the boat been apart before?
