Center Console Cover and Hatch Lock

[Intuition Gloucester]

Hi all:

My new Stryker t-top was installed successfully on my Robalo 1920CC and it looks great.
Now that I have the t-top, and it fully extends past the center console towards the bow and extends just past the helm seats, do I still need to have a canvas console cover? I needed to pretty much trash mine to get it past the support brackets that are intalled directly into the console. And, if I don't, is anyone aware of a lock for the console hatch? I have my vhf and an am/fm radio in there...total of about $250. Not a lot of value but I hate getting ripped off.

Thanks as always for the advice.

Hatch locks are cheap and you can get them right here at iBoats:

Having a console cover isn't a necessity, but it makes things easier to keep clean. I had the same setup and the dirt/dust still gets all over the console & gauges. Just take your rig and current cover to a local upholstery shop and have them make it fit. Or, you can order a separate cover designed to fit, but that would be more expensive.

I agree and a console cover is a small measure of security--keeps an honest man honest.
Consider a grill cover.
