Replacement frame for old boats or for retrofitting from the Valley system or for subsequent self-installation in boats that are intended for this

The luggage hatch covers from Finland are famous for their tightness and durability.

Retrofitting or retrofitting is advisable if certain requirements are met:

The installation requires an absolutely flat surface with at least 490mm x 300mm.

A cutout of 453mm x 265mm must be available or sawn out. This works very well with a jigsaw and a fine saw blade.

The underside of the frame that rests on the boat must be sanded very roughly. The boat deck is also sanded.

Approx. 12 holes 4mm Ø are drilled through the frame and deck.

The frame is glued on with glue and seal (permanently elastic glue from Würth) and screwed on while wet

(Raised countersunk head screws M4x16 with sealing washer and stop nut / stop cap nut).

The penetration of the fully installed frame is 445mm x 259mm.

You can mount all 44 / 26cm oval lids from Kajak-Sport.
