: True, true!

I believe that the original idea of the day hatch was to have what you would need for a day trip contained in a relatively small area just behind you. That way if you got in rough seas or had to roll, you didn't have your gear shifting all over the place because it was a small amount of stuff in a large space. also adds one more bulkhead for strength and to divide up air tight areas in case one has issues the other will still help by being a floatation cavity
Keeps the load central.

Best Wishes
