ABSTRACT:
A removable storage locker sized to fit on a boat transom step platform provides storage and counter space to the boat. The locker includes a hinged upper lid which in its closed position provides a slightly-sloped counter surface for water drain-off at a level commensurate with that of the transom. Hinges are located astern of the transom on a locker rim protruding along the locker hinge side such that the lid opens away from the boat. The hinges are covered by an overhanging, downward-extending, rearward lid skirt to protect the hinge, allowing the lid to open at least 90 degrees with the rearward skirt extending under the rearward rim. The hinge movement is limited by the lid skirt contacting the rim underside, allowing the lid to lean astern until contact is made, the lid thus being stably supported in its open position.
