: Hi Joe

: They're very strong. I haven't put in the weather seal material
: yet, but it takes an estimated 5 pounds force at the spot
: nearest the cockpit (least magnet area) to break the seal. The
: neoprene foam I planning to use will compress well, so I don't
: expect much less grab with the seal material in place. I had
: hoped to use a finger recess to use for grabbing and opening,
: but I think I'll have to install web loops backed up internally
: by a piece of dowel for openers. It should look OK, as I'm using
: the web loop/silicon seal from below method for all my hard
: points for deck lines and bungies.

Sounds like it will work, I am just contemplating how many to use in my day hatch, I think i will go with a few less seeing its a smaller lid.
