[Rhodes22-list] Ernesto does a number on hatch cover

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Everyone,
 
I'm probably misunderstanding, but what exactly is the hook device ("club") that I should be using?  I didn't receive one with my recent recycling (maybe because I have the locking supports on the poptop bars) ... but I wouldn't mind adding a little redundancy with a hook/club ... I'm assuming the club for car steering wheels is too short ...
 
Thanks,
 
- Mark

Rory, 
 
ES says he is sure he showed you the Rhodes "Club" that he says was with your boat and how to hook it on the pop top cross bar and lock it on the cleat on the cb cowling. If he lies, you fire him and do the deliveries.
