FAQs:
Q: Does this screw to the kayak or is it just rubber that you have to pull in and out of the hole?
A: It does not screw on. It is a rubbery material that goes on kind of like a Tupperware/plastic container lid. It worked for my kayak which does not have screw threads on the opening. It goes "over" the hole, not into it.
Q: The hatch on my kayak had a twist-on lid. Would this work for a replacement or is there another lid that would work for a 9" hatch?
A: Yours is threaded, this one goes over a lip. You need to measure the inside dimensions and look for the same. LFS or West Marine sell the whole thing that gets epoxy to the kayak; all you need is the lid. Buy the whole replacement and just use the lid. I would take your boat to the store and try it out. If it fits, buy it.
Q: Will this fit on a pelican sundophin?
A: You need to measure the hatch to determine if it will fit.
Q: Is this rubber or plastic?
A: It is rubber and fits as perfectly as the original.
