Here is one way to store the hatchboards....

Note the size progression.. small to large as you go left to right. Note the hasp alignment on the large board to avoid scratching.

Not sure if the bungee was factory original or an add-on by the PO.

Be careful, if your engine cover is not on its track exactly correct, the boards will not fit.
