I'd like to add a handle behind the seat of my Revo, as shown in some of the pics here, but I can't reach inside the hull far enough from either hatch. Anybody got any advice? Thanks.

I hang mine in webbing either on it's side or even upside down depending on where I am trying to reach. For the handle behind the seat I went from the center hatch of my Revo.

Another thing I have done is use a little 1/8" drive ratchet with a short extension and add a touch of silicon seal to the nut to hold it in the socket until the bolt has it in its threads.

I guess if none of that helps, do you have a buddy with longer arms? :D

Hope this helps

This is a Great idea on the handles. I just bought a Quest and plan to do handles the same way so I can hoist onto my J carriers on the roof rack. Also, where can I see photo/info on the tupperware style organizers for use in the 8" hatches?
