Anchor locker/hatch question.  Any builds on here that are the go to for for hatch making. I am contemplating putting an anchor locker but cannot imagine the the hatch. See pic.

Any ideas or recommended builds to look at for weird shaped hatch making? Anchor locker hatch is a head scratcher. I have some ideas but suspect others may have better ones.

[Duffy1470]

Added a thru stringer pipe for bilge pump hose to go thru and laminated casting deck supports

[Duffy1470]

I will cut that pipe off

Scan My rebuild for anchor locker I made.

Not suite if link works.

Rear knee is where the rear part of the deck meets the front portion of the deck so a wider area is preferable or at least that's the theory.

Here is a better picture of contemplated anchor locker. McAllister, thank you for the link. Very helpful.

Can I use Honey comb for the anchor locker bulkhead? It is so much cheaper.

[dbiscayne]

Sure can't imagine why not. Just keep in mind the need for future screws into it which the honeycomb won't work so good with. And beef up the laminate schedule if needed. 2 layers of 1708 ea side with 5/8" honeycomb makes a strong panel, the thicker the honeycomb the better.

[Duffy1470]

Good info dbiscayne. Thanks. I'm using 3/4 hcomb for parts of my deck and will now use it for anchor locker too.  Thought I would cut out areas where hinges etc go and replace with Coosa before I laminate it. Or something like that.

[McAllgeyver]

I wouldn’t recommend honey comb for bulkheads that bear a significant amount of weight or structural tie in. However , up there under the front deck it should be fine.

[McAllgeyver]

design looks pretty cool. Great idea

[Duffy1470]

Thanks for the input mcallgeyver. It will be structural for sure but in conjunction with a lot of other pieces that come together at that juncture. I'm going to give it a go.
