Patty,,, My boat has a (maybe) unique way of securing the lockers. There is 
no hasp in the cockpit, but a rod runs from each side of the main cabin 
horizontally to a bracket on the bottom of the cockpit hatches. You can go 
into the cabin and push the rod thru a hole on the seat bracket and secure 
the seat cover that way. It's an elegant piece of work which obviously took 
much effort. It removes the unsightly hasp &locks from the cockpit. The bad 
thing is that I never remember to use them, so the seats stay unsecured. On 
the whole, that's not too bad and I'm sure you remember to do it if you're 
offshore.

  I wonder if anyone else has this lash-up?
