Do I Need the Stiffener?
For most hatches that are regularly walked on, it is advisable to add the u-channel. It is not as much a "safety" issue as it is a "feel" issue. King Starboard while it almost never breaks, does have some flex to it. For Starboard deck hatches without u-channel, it will likely feel a bit "spongy" and flex much more than the fiberglass you will be walking on next to it. For this reason we recommend adding the u-channel stiffener to give it the rigidity you expect when walking on a boat deck.
