??? for CSick - hatch measurments

[PressureDrop]

hey nick, im gonna start on the mold for my top hatch today and i think it will come out nice the only thing i need to know is the shape of the hatch at the front, at the end near the bow, i need to know how long the part is that fits in the gutter and what angle with respect to the tangential does it go, if you think about a side view like this |---| i need to know the (|) on the right, sorry if this is confusing, i hope you understand what im talking about haha, thanks for the help

Hey Ben,

I think i know what your asking. I will give you an inside/outside specs and angle of that front lip.

Ben,

The top of my hatch measures 24" front to back, and 22 5/8" side to side.

The OD lip in the front measures 3/4". It angles out 1/4".
So, this online trig calculator computes the angle to 19.5 degrees. Trig calc

From the top forward point of the hatch, add the 19.5 to 90 the angle would be ~110 degrees.

That should get you in the ball park. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Hope that make sence .... - Nick

allright thanks, i just finished making the mold and took all the measurement right from my boat and on mine it was 19" wide? as in side to side, wonder what accounts for that difference
