Floor hatch latch!

So. The floor hatches to the bilge.
I want to secure them. Currently they are just laying over the openings to the bilge.

I am interested in what others have done to secure the wood floor hatches down.

Thanks,

Use a flat round plate the size of a silver dollar and drill a hole that is eccentric (not centered) and fasten it to the floor loosely thru said hole. This can be used to cam over the bilge cover when rotated. It is flat so not a toe-stubber but also not very structural to keep the keel contents in place. From: "groundhog groundhogyh@...

My batteries rest snuggly on a fiberglass tray under the forward cover and
my insurance company wanted a picture of my "battery compartment". So I
put four stainless, flathead sheet metal screws through the edge of the
cover and the flat part of the fiberglass flange it sits on.On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 11:53 AM, John.Kinsella John.Kinsella@...

On a boat with nothing heavy under the hatch to restrain, I have set in neodymium magnets into the floor and the bottom of the hatch.On the Vega, or any other boat with heavy stuff that the hatch needs to contain I might use something like thisI use McLube Sailkote in my mast slot. On things with plastic bearings (traveler, adjustable cars, blocks, furler etc) , I use Harken One Drop.I try avoid silicone near anything I may need to paint or do repair on later (on the other hand I don't know if McLube or One Drop have silicone in them).Neither of these lasts particularly long, but are easy to apply and don't attract dirt.Tim From: "groundhog groundhogyh@...

So. The floor hatches to the bilge.
I want to secure them. Currently they are just laying over the openings to the bilge.

I am interested in what others have done to secure the wood floor hatches down.

The hatch is usually in place, and the nearby compass (less than 4' away) seems to read accurately cross checked to gps and adjusted for deviation.Next time I'm on the boat, I'll try to remember to take the panel off and see how it affects the compass.

I always tried to envision the boat upside down and me sitting on the overhead. Small chance but I didn't want to take any chances with a battery falling on me. I built new boxes with tops that strap down in the cockpit lockers. They were each sized for
two 6 volt golf cart batteries. I found them difficult to maiontain and now they each have a group 27 AGM in them. Sadly, I have Lyric listed. She can be viewed on Craig's List. Go to California and click on San Francisco , go to boats and put in minimum
and maximum size of 27 and shell come up. battery box in picture #18. Walt, LyricFrom: AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Robert Lord rowboatload@... [AlbinVega] AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com

My batteries rest snuggly on a fiberglass tray under the forward cover and
my insurance company wanted a picture of my "battery compartment". So I
put four stainless, flathead sheet metal screws through the edge of the
cover and the flat part of the fiberglass flange it sits on.
