Compartment under bow berth on 285

[3GGG]

I noticed there is a compartment under the bow berth that has multiple screws holding it down and a seal of some kind. Why was it done this way versus just having a board you can lift out? Probably a dumb question .

My Hunter 280 had a water tank in the bow (plastic tank), and there was a plywood cover over that to form the V berth bed platform. It probably adds more strength and rigidity than a “loose” cover.

Do you have a water tank in the bow?

I havent removed the cover yet. I have been looking for the transducer for the depth finder. I assume the transducer is located in the bow as I cannot find it anywhere else.
