Dare I say it? Look up a Fountain's anchor locker if you want an idea of how to make it flush.

Are those LEDs or did you change the lens color? More great work on an awesome boat!

Did some end of October boating/looking for my lost prop this weekend ... loving this weather .
Small craft advisory most of the day, got to test the set up, help up and worked fantastic.

NIce locker Daniel; missed this thread I guess. Question: when you designed the locker did you ever consider having the outboard edge of the hatch paralell the cap rail and put the hinges on the inboard side? It would have been slightly triangular in shape but the symmetry of paralleling the outter edge Imho would make it look more factory?

Todd, we were at Dicks last resort across the way, try the ribs next time!

R&B are you saying opening it from the opposite side then leaning over and trying to pull the chain and anchor out? In testing that was really awkward.
I like your idea of the shape but remember there`s only so much space in the forward compartment to work with, also depth is an issue. The anchor has to be as close to the middle and back as possible (deepest spot ) otherwise it would not fit. As it is right now It`s about an inch from bottoming out .

I hear ya Dan. Maybe the hinges on the outboard side. Oh well, it's done now, looks good, and is incredibly functional.
