Has anyone reversed the center hatch so it opens in the opposite direction? Is it even possible? When seated, I cannot open the hatch because my seat and my crotch area are in the way. Thanks.

It has been done many times on the bigger Malibu kayaks such as the X-13 and explorer.

You'll have to pull the screws and reverse it. You should also seal it completely when you invert it.

Thanks. Do you know if there's any special procedure? Seal it how, each screw hole?

The screw holes wouldn't be a bad idea but I would goop the entire square. Press it down and quickly wipe away any excess before it dries.

Just make darn sure you like it where it is! Lol
