Can those who have cruised a WS32 extensively, including off shore, please say how often you have needed to pull up the cockpit floor to access the engine room while underway. I’m trying to work out how securely I should plan to ‘lock’ mine down.

Also, please say what sorts of hardware you recommend to hold it down: screws all around the edge would seem to impede urgent access, but I realize it needs to be held down fairly well to keep it water tight (I do have a closed-cell foam border where it rests on the surrounding support ledge).

Thanks,

Neil
