: Hatch covers are cut from the deck. And have 2 stiffiners on each
: that the bungies hook to. Front edge is starting to flatten out
: and lift. Hatch rim is composite One Ocean Kayak style.

Oh yeah btw, need to release tension on the internal bungies when not in use to prevent this, I just turn my hatches and let them fall into the boat when it's stored, doesn't work with round hatches.
