I dock bow in so I use the front hatch quite a bit as a loading hatch.  Does it easily remove or swing open out of the way?

If you don't mind sharing your secrets, all your projects would be great additions to the Wiki.  Though not all of us have your wood working skills.  Happy to help post if you aren't wiki conversant yet.

It hangs straight down but I guess a clip could be installed to hold it up and against the overhead?
Your trying to embarrass me the wiki thing Ken.  I just figured out how to post a pic.

Aldo & All : You all can see my center hatch screen if you look in the Mainsheet tech notes/Projects (w/pictures) November 2004! 
I used the hinges that have the pull out pins, in case you want to remove the screen for loading or cleaning !!  A thought

Send me your Email address and I'll send you a copy of the article and pictures.

How were you able to get the teak off and then how did you attach the screen?
