Why not just take it out the locker if the boat starts to sink? I keep my canister raft in a locker, behind a toolbox and some other stuff. If I ever need the raft, then it takes seconds to move the tools out of the way.



I suppose because it's another thing to do when in the situation where the boat is sinking fast there may be other priorities. It seems no hardship at all to just leave it out in the cockpit, painter attached, on longer passages. Of course for loafing close to shore I agree, leave it in the hatch.
