Standing on the potty cover I can easily reach forward to access cleats and anchor
Opening for the hatch. Coamings will be 3/8 inch plywood that will be one inch proud of the cabin top. The forward cabin bulkhead rises only 10 inches up from the foredeck. This allows me to lean forward easily and is why it is built low. The downside is a restriction of headroom in the forward part of the cabin but is a reasonable tradeoff as I consider the cabin shelter in nasty weather and otherwise the low cabin does not impact the value of the cabin as a sleeper. The hatch also allows male users of the potty to stand in the footwell and remain vertical if they desire.
The bottom edge of the coamings will be 3/4 inch up from the hatch framing to make a pocket for a screen insert.
