: My hatch covers are curved and a wee sprung (they don't lay flat), I've got
: stainless steel screw /SS hinge set-up that're pretty strong (but too ugly
: to dare show on a website children and craftsmen may be present). the
: stainless steel is not impervious to the ocean, too many parts, too many
: sealed SS parts (no air or water) will corrode. My handles keep detaching
: from the screw shafts.

: I like these Dzus fasteners. I like the quarter turn, the spring retention,
: the lock. The ones with knobs instead of screw heads would work.
: Tolerances need to be looser for kayaks. Perhaps resin parts replacing
: some of the metal parts.

: I also found these interesting:
