Greetings,

I know this thread is older and it might not seem applicable now but my 2000X came with a set of Aussie Bob's locker covers. I know that these items are no longer being sold but I was curious to see if these can somehow be replicated for interested parties. I do not know what protocols or patents or any of the legal stuff that might be involved with this idea but these have been great for me and would probably help others out as well. I also have no idea how to replicate something like this but I'm sure one of you do.

With these in place I can keep my six gallon Honda tanks, propane bottles, alcohol and oil and any other nasty stuff in a relatively safe and secure place. They also help keep out any critters that might be interested in taking up residence while my boat is on the mooring.

Wow those tank hatch covers look awesome, I have been looking around for something like that alas with no luck the standard off the shelf units are either too big or small for the opening.

I have been contemplating making some out of Sunbrella type material just to make the tank storage lockers look neat and tidy and keep the direct sunlight off the tanks
