[QUOTE="theyyounggun, post: 292799, member: 8973"] I got my hatch pull in the mail today. That's when I ran into the problem... I am using 3/8 inch decking. Because I already have all the wood I need and because I'm trying to watch my weight. :mrgreen: but that is when I realized that the hatch pull I about 5/8 inch deep. And where I am wanting to put it it would stop up on my bracing. A lot of you will be against how I fixed this but it will be okay. It won't be flush with the deck but where I am going to have it it will not be a big deal. What if did was simply take a piece of 3/8 and make it slightly bigger than the pull. I then used the jigsaw to cut out the shape so it would fit inside. And the cut a piece of carpet to wrap it in. So know it is sticking 3/8 above where the deck will be. I'm thinking I will be able to get the deck done by tommorow night. My hinges and trolling motor are supposed to get here sometime tommorow as well. Pics to come tonight. [/QUOTE]
