[C320-list] Waste Through-Hull

[Chris Burti]

Locking the compartment complies with the law as well.
You can buy a desk drawer lock and install it on the
compartment cover. You will need to install hinges or
tabs to slide under the fiberglass lip on the side
opposite the lock. A 6" long pice of rabbeted 1" X 2"
teak scrap srewed to the cover works nicely.
