front hatch cover hole

Thanks to this incredible resource I think almost everything I need to know is here. I wanted to cut the front hatch cover today, but the pdfs don't include the location of a circular hole I've seen in some members' photographs. I haven't found definitive directions searching the discussion areas. Does anybody have original woodwork and could they tell me where to cut the hole and what size it should be? Thank you all.

Here is one hole on a 1972 model: http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...er_id=7023 It depends on the year on how many holes, if any, and where they are located. Here are two holes on a 1973 model: http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...ser_id=379 Here is a 1974 model with one hole: http://www.whalercentral.com/infusion...r_id=10550 Take a look around and browse the personal pages.
