Thanks for posting those images, Dave, it makes your installation much clearer. Couple questions:
1) When installing the hatch, did you use the plastic epoxy suggested in the video?
2) Were you just lucky missing the "lurking PVC pipe" or could that be a problem when choosing the hatch location?

1) I used butyl tape and shortened SS screws. Love the butyl stuff because it's sticky as all get-out and never dries. One can remove the piece with some determination where with epoxy it's going to stay there.

2) That was actually a little of both! I pushed up on the tub to find a soft flex area big enough for the port. After I drew the porthole in white pencil, I pressed around the drawn hole's perimeter to be sure there was flex. A few inches toward where I discovered the lurking pipe, there was no flex. I felt good about plunging forward and no ill effects occurred. Was it luck or planning?
