Thanks for advice with locker

Thank you for the help I received with a little project.

This is what the locker looked like,




I was please with it, it tidied, and made slightly more secure and a lot more useful a messy area of the cockpit.

I fixed the lid to the transom by drilling an oversized hole, feeding 6mm cable down through it and taping a bolt with backing washer and lock washer to it.




Backing washer and lockwasher were smeared with epoxy, this was then pulled up into the cockpit, the thread wiped and smeared with silicone grease and a nut and washer attached.




It was then left whilst the epoxy hardened.


The bolts were then cut to the appropriate length and pushed through a piece of wood mounted under the locker top and done up.





Sikaflex was used to seal the holes and was smeared on the back of the wood attached to the transom.

Even though the locker was very simple (basically two bits of marine ply) it took an inordinately long time.
