In Response To: Oval Hatches (Mark)

: Looking for info (good and bad) re:Valley hatches vs Kajak Sport.How do they
: hold up and hold out water over the long term?

My factory installed *round* KajakSport hatches have leaked since day one on my Gulfstream. Not a lot, but enough to make me mad. My rear large Oval hatch hasn't had the same problems - maybe a few drops from an extended day of rolling. The people I paddle with who have Valley hatches seem to fair much better than me.
