the latch from the recessed area of the hatch, twist it and lift the hatch open. To make sure that all hatches are
closed and secured before you get underway, lift the handle of the latch, turn it 180 degrees so that the latch
catches. Then, return the handle to the recessed area of the hatch.
The hatches for the aft bilge and the aft fish boxes are each equipped with gas shocks. The gas shocks allow you
to easily open and close the hatches. The gas shocks also hold the hatches in place when they are open.
