353 anchor hatch
 

I's it possible to retro an anchor hatch door and frame on a 383 and what brand docking lights are on new 383s?????

Docking lights are useless. Don't bother.

Jenks, There is a bulkhead in front of the V-berth in a 382 (I assume that's what you mean..) where you could create an anchor locker, but it would be a big fiberglass job. I thought about doing it myself, but after going up on the foredeck in rough water a few times, The Admiral and I now deploy and retrieve from the cockpit, using a mesh bag that holds both anchor and rode. We only go up on the foredeck to tie it or untie it.

I wouldnt say Useless .....we use ours alot ...we try not to be out at night but when we are a quick flash of the lights really shows objects with reflective properties..... also pulling in the boathouse ....they would not be at the top of a list of projects but we do use them ...m

My existing lights work well I just want to up date them. and as far as the anchor locker I would love to have it forward even if I beat the **** out of it!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
