Above Gas Tank Access : under cut the panel balsa for the edge trim. I sealed the balsa with West system epoxy thinned with tolulene for penetration

Painted with West Marine Starbrite and bedded the hatch with 4200.I figure the hatches will hold air as floatation for a while.

Shoved the front compartment full of foam and installed a pink foam bulkhead to hold it. I used some filler foam till the forward compartment was full. Note the 6" access I cut.
