Hatch

[disher59]

My new to me Kelt 7.6 the hatch seems to not want to open.
I tried to open it today but i didnt want to push to hard and break it.
Any ideal what to do.
Thanks

Assuming you have the same hatch:  if the two dogs are undone then the only other thing stopping it could be the mechanism to keep it open.  It may be jammed or installed incorrectly.

Hi Mark

My hatch is the original the dog were undone.

But it didnt want to open.

Maybe a little oil will help.

I was just about to search the forum when I saw this posting. What are the dimensions of the forward hatch on the 7.6?
