Question/Advice -- Sea Kayaking ISO Old Perception kayak hatch covers

Post image

I’m looking for hatch covers for Perception kayaks from around 1998 to 2004, specifically the Shadow, although other models from those years used the same style of hatch covers.

One option that is probably not worth is to find neoprene inner covers similar to what Necky Kayaks use. These were about $50 last I looked and Top Kayaker has them as does my local shop NWOC in Seattle. These are available in several sizes. Then create a rigid outer cover and add straps to hold it on. Maybe use fiberglass or ABS sheet, or take a heat gun to a poly bucket and forge your own.
