Hi All,
New Newport 28 owner here, kind of ironic since my boat for the last 9 years has been a Neptune 24.
Anyhow, the anchor locker hatch just sits on the lip to the locker. There are 2 eye straps on the bottom of it but no real way to secure it in a way that satisfies my taste. My Neptune has hinges along the Stbd side of it, how were these hatches originally secured? The rode that came with the boat is 400' of 1/2" 3 strand and another 35' of 5/16" chain so the locker is pretty full.
What have you all done to fix this?
