THe port side locker had been modified to hold a half keg. The starboard side locker has been insulated and will hold at lease one case if the we are going out for a half day! A bin for limes or Lemons! When not in use for the above, It seems fairly standard to all others. Batteries, AC switch panel, ..our master Guest switch is located in the Port locker as well!. Not that bad actually, because it forces us to remove and inspect it for corrosion more often *twice a season*. We have one shelf to port that holds everthing we toss in until we heel over too far! Bumper's, Docklines, swim stuff water balloon launcher! Starboard is more tricky since it does like to hold water! (We are entertaining the notion to insulate it and make a cooler out of it) What could be nicer than a cool spot to sit on in August? Until we do, it tends to hold the cleaning stuff since it turns out to be wet.Sponges, camy mop, it even holds the West marine extendable mop/brush stick During an extended sail the Starboard will hold the Emergency standards - handheld, flairs, throw bag, write on board! .. That kind of stuff! .....And one six pack in an insulated bag! TomC. Kiona West River, Md.

I've had my '81 Catalina 27 for less than a year and am still trying to figure out how to best use the port and starboard cockpit lockers as well as the lazarette. Would you mind sharing your "locker plan"? Thanks!
