Our forward hatch has 2 coiled springs that act to keep the hatch partially open and do nothing to prevent bouncing off the deck. They allow air flow through the hatch. As for exuberant opening prevention, the adjusting rod has a groove in the outboard end in which a nylon washer is inserted which prevents the hatch from opening too far. Hope this helps John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David Risch via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 10:32 AM To: CNC CNC Cc: David Risch Subject: Stus-List Hatch Springs... So I have two coiled hatch springs which the hatch hinge pin capture on my 1981rebuilt Atkins and Hoyle forward hatch. They are there to prevent the hatch from bouncing off the deck when it was flung fully open for chute drops. For the life of me I can't figure out how to install them to function as intended. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
