Reflective material hatch covers

[Bill Ellis]

I have a 2001 Hunter 320 and was looking for reflective material hatch covers to help prevent heat build up in the cabin while at the dock. I saw some advertised on a web page several weeks ago but for the life of me can't find them now. They were an off the shelf item with several stock sizes using a draw string around the perimeter to hold them in place. I can call a canvas company and have them special made but thoght I would ask for help first.Thanks.Bill Ellis

Cheaper idea

Open the bow or top hatch a half-inch with a block of wood, and you'll be surprised how just that little bit of ventilation will remove the heat (and unique smell).

Another option

What I did was get two reflective bubble wrap car windshield sunblockers and cut them to fit inside the hatch screens. They work GREAT and just stow under the cushions when not in use. They've help up over two years now. Not bad for a total expenditure of $10.Jim"Prospect"
