Has anyone figured a way to make the lazarette hatches flush with the seat? From pictures, it looks as if they would be uncomfortable to sit on as you move around while underway.
Or maybe change the access to the vertical footwell sides?

2. In the event the hatches must be sat on, it's not uncomfortable.
3. Like some others, I actually raised my hatches to keep water out. The lazarettes usually stay bone dry now.
The attached photo shows the raised "gutter" I made to raise the hatches. I did this before season two. Previous to this mod rain water often made its way into the locker.
