Floor board locks
|
I'm thinking of putting locks on the large hinged floorboards as we store a lot of heavy items there (wine bottles and other necessities), In the unlikely event of being knocked down looks would make such event easier to cope with. The floor boards are rather large should one go for two on each or would one each be sufficient? I know some of you out there have them, do you have one or two on each floor board. any pictures on types of locks would be highly apreciated.

I had Amel install lock downs when Kimberlite was built. However they cannot be used on a preexisting hatch. However, I used these on my last boat –they are terrific. Check this out. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Amel installed 2 on each floorboard. On my last boat I also installed 2 locks. We have been knocked down about 12 times on Kimberlite 9 in a hurricane 1 microburst a 2 rogue waves. For about 6 times the floorboards were not locked and the still stayed closed and nothing flew around- no drawers or cabinets opened. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

I hope I do not get the same experience as you. But will probably install floor lockers to be on the safe side
