What length hatch adjuster for a 26X

Post by pxk3 »

I am interested in installing a hatch adjuster on the forward hatch of my 26x. The model I am considering comes in two lengths, a 12 inch and a 14 inch. I searched the Mods section and found two installs, however neither mentioned the lenght of adjuster they used. Would anyone be so kind as to relate what size adjuster they installed on their boat? Thanks in advance. :D

Which reminds me... I was cruising the web last night and saw this hatch holder designed for the Mac:

Might be worth checking out. While you're there you could also order a pair of those $15 Macs!
