As noted on other posts, what you can do instead is spend about $15 getting the materials below and make your own hatch.
What you'll need:
- 10 minutes
- Scissors
- Marker/Pen
- Flexible tub "TubRub" Model # SP26SK.BL
1. Measure where you are going to cut:
- Place the tub inside of your hatch.
- Push the tub down as far as possible to make sure it rests on the bottom
- With a pen or marker, draw a line on the tub right above where the black joint of the hatch meets the tub.
- IMPORTANT: make a note of how the tub is oriented, so that you know how to drop it back later.

2. Cut the tub to measurements:
- Now that the tub is out, cut along the lines with your scissors
- To be on the safe side, cut above the line rather than under.
3. Place/Fit the tub into the hatch:
- Use your earlier note to direct how the tub should be oriented
- Push the tub down as far as possible.
- Check for any parts sticking out for additional trimming.
That's it, you're done! Now you've got some additional storage space in your Hobie kayak.
