Rear propshaft adjustment port hole access

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As part of my carpet to SeaDek conversion on my 96 Sport, I am cutting a new Coosa hatch for the rear of the boat that covers the prop shaft and muffler under the seats. 2 questions:
1) How important is that round access port hole? The whole panel is pretty easy to lift up without really needing the hole. I'd rather not re-cut it. Am I missing something in the need for it here?

2) The old panel was held in place by simple friction/pressure of the carpet that existed on both sides of the hatch with the carpet from the deck. Once the carpet is all gone, this won't be possible. Should I try to fasten the panel into place with the new setup?

Thanks guys!!
