Installation

1. Place in open hatch as shown. (See
Figure 5.) Adjust Carry-On so that the
hatch pad protects and insulates the
hatch and the Carry-On unit. Make
sure that movement of Carry-On is
stifled due to wedging action of the
hatch pad as it presses against hatch
edge.
NOTE: Carry-On may be further secured
using the D-ring type "tie downs".
2. Place hatch bag over Carry-On in
grooves provided. Do not allow hatch
bag to cover air intake vents
or condensate drain. (See Fig. 2.)
3. Adjust the hatch bag over the hatch
cover and hatch opening. The hatch
bag is designed to keep outside air
from entering the hatch while the
Carry-On is in use. The fit should be
as snug as possible. Use the battens
provided to form the deck frame. Slide
the battens into the pockets provided.
Note that there is an alternative set of
batten pockets for use with a smaller
hatch. Should you decide to use
the alternative batten pockets, you
must cut the battens to size. A more
weather tight seal can be achieved if
you adapt the hatch bag to your boat
using a Velcro brand fastener, or
®
snaps. Consult your marine dealer or
canvas shop if you need help.
