Holding down engine cover / sun deck

 It's got swim steps. And if it's folded forward, bam sunshade for that afternoon nap. And when he's working on it it also double as a work bench.

I bought the mini quick latch for $27 a piece. Even after upgrading the springs it was still less than $35. Sorry I misspoke they are rated for 150lbs a latch before failure. Still don't think that will be a problem.

I can see someone catching a toe or something on hood pins. I want something a little cleaner.

I like the electronic lift idea Glenn suggested.

Sean (83 crusader) had a really cool way of doing his.
Wish I had pics.
It ain't nothing you could do on this short of notice but I would definitely look into it

Makes it impossible to work on while in the water.

why even put a hatch on it if you are anticipating it being broken down that much?

the beer didnt fall out though right? 

bummer about your hatch.  worst case you couldve just stuck some fat ladies on it to hold it down.  hopefully there isnt too much damage and you can still enjoy your weekend.
