        Thank You for all the compliments on the hatch.

        If any body needs help doing this mod let me know. Its fairly simple. The main thing is deciding how far back you want the air scoop in relation to the front of the canopy. The first hatch I did the scoop started 2 inches back from the magnet lock and I did not cut the front of the pro boat cowl where the half circle juts out. I also had to cut the top of the ul-1 canopy off and fill it in to seal it. This added a lot more weight as well.
        The second time around I placed the scoop 1 inch from the center of the magnet lock and also cut down the front of the pro boat cowl getting rid of the round lip squaring it off allowing for the pro boat canopy to slide forward on the ul-1 canopy giving it a more scale and natural look. It also eliminates the overhang from the pro boat canopy. By doing it this way you do not have to cut the ul-1 hatch at all. Simply fill in the screw holes for the exhaust pipes to seal the canopy water tight. Make sure to cut out the tinted plastic insert inside the pro boat scoop or you will turn your boat into a slow slug.

        The reason I did not make the front of the hatches smooth was that I am planning on installing the water outlets in the triangle area under the pro boat hatch and in back of the nose canopy. One on each side for my dual water cooling.
