ok Mr. Safety Officer that would be quite a feat.
I guess if 2 locking latches broke, the heavy duty rubber hood latch snapped, anchor somehow defied gravity and slipped out the yes there would be cause for concern.
I put a backing plate for the latches and a metal slot for them to hold onto

1) Had a bow hatch come off in rough water that sliced the driver's head open. Someone had to wrap a shirt around his head and hold it from behind while they navigated the rest of their way to a safe port.
2) Had the windshield blow apart and sliced the driver's neck WIDE (and I mean WIDE) open, and he had to be evacuated by the USCG, while someone else drove the boat back to a safe port.
I just stating that it happens. And when it does, it's bad. I'm in the business of mitigating risk; in other words, I get paid to think about these type of things.

Love the hatch
i wish my bullet had a anchor locker, it's a pain to anchor and I do that a lot. If someone is worried about the weight up forward, the fortress anchor is very light and if you don't use a chain which is probably heavier then the anchor, try a stainless cable to prevent chafing. The fortress will hold in most any condition.

Lots of griding fitting, grinding , fitting, tons of little adjustments. It wasn`t as easy as I thought it would be that's for sure .
Kreed, I had a nice offer this summer but I can`t bring myself to sell anymore.. everything is the way I want it, she ran like a champ all summer and there`s nothing out there that I would consider comparable in that price range .
