: Here's a bigger version of the image.

Thanks Sean. Do you feel the tab on the compression latch is strong enough to resist fatigue long-term? How about if it's really cold and you drop it? do you think the tab will break? Does the hinge tab slip under the edge of the mounting ring so that the mounting ring and the top of the deck plate are flush? Is the gasket on the mounting rim, then? Are you still happy and leak-free since you sealed the screw holes? Do you have a backup plan should the lip or latch break?

I think I'm going to have to replace my Beckson. I think I know why it won't seal- but the bottom line is that it won't seal. My deck is awash a lot- I need it to seal.
