: This last build I considered a hatch into an under-deck compartment
: in the fore deck between my knees for phone and camera, but not
: for long. I felt the extra lump under there may stifle my sense
: of freedom of movement and there would be the problem of getting
: to it past one's map and whatever else may be bungied to the
: foredeck.
I had a similar thought (under-deck 'glove box') , but since I've started favouring longer cockpits and 'butt first' entries, I don't like anything that gets in the way of tucking my feet into the boat. On the boats that have the bilge pump stored under the front deck, it's far enough forward that my feet don't catch on it. Especially with a longer cockpit opening, a 'glove box' would have to be adjacent to the front of the coaming to be convenient, right where my feet enter/exit.
