Yet another small but necessary little detail........
I created a "toe stub proof" anchor locker hatch handle by fabricating a stainless fitting, threading a loop of Dyneema line through the hatch and through a short section of tubing.
The two stainless carriage bolts are part of a locking mechanism ; the details of which, I regrettably must not divulge.
Here's the finished result. Although this handle isn't out of a marine catalog, I sort of like the tough durable nature of it's components, and it's not likely to wear out in my life time.
