The catch riveted to the frame of the forward hatch on my 30-2 came loose at
the end of last year, I think from being slammed shut with the handle in the
closed position. I pop riveted it back on and it is tight for the time being,
but I am concerned that it won’t hold if the handle gets slammed down on it
again. Has anyone mounted a gas shock or other soft close mechanism on theirs?
I see that Lewmar sells an add-on accessory to lock the hatch open, but I
don’t think it soft closes. It also becomes a safety issue with my 9 year old
and her friends, as the hinges don’t hold very well anymore, in addition to my
fears about a major rebuild if this continues.
Thanks for any advice!
