[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 203650, member: 55"] I generally use a 16 ounce marine carpet, on aluminum hatches, and I'm finding myself giving 1/4-5/16" per layer of carpet. Thus, if the hatch lid has carpet on both sides, as well as has carpet on the side of the deck it is up against, I'm usually giving 1 - 1 1/4" clearance. Best way to say for sure, especially since you are using thicker carpet, is to use a couple spring clamps to hold a piece of carpet on a couple pieces of scrap, in the configuration you are going to have it installed, then hold them together, and see what kind of gap is needed.
