Bluewater - I replaced mine with these that retrofitted pretty well:

Looks good to me. Thank you. Did you happen to put a gasket under each hatch lid? Mine has none and water easily goes down and into the bilge - and I hate water in the boat! So am intending to fit a gasket

I’ve never worried about water in the anchor locker. There are two overboard drains that work well.

I have an '03. Wondering if anyone has sourced this specific latch. It's different than the one listed at Defender. I'm looking to avoid drilling any additional holes in the deck. Here's a pic of what I have...

Replaced mine with these. They were the exact fit from my 2000 28 TE
