I have an early build boat that has exposed hinges ( ie the hinge pins face up ) on the battery box lid.
The hinge closest to the door is in the way of traffic and is painful as heck to step on. How has this problem been solved?
I considered trying to reverse the hinge but that does not seem possible without some glass work. I would like to do something more elegant than duct tape.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you

Re: A little problem with deck hatch
Thank you Roger, that's what I went ahead and did. I looked at photos on yacht world and it appears that build years after the 2002 boats had hatch hinged on the other side and uses different hinges.
Couldn't find a hinge on line that I was confident would solve the problem so a entry mat seems the way to go.
