Patrick, I don’t think the piano hinges on your anchor locker are original C&C. I have 6” SS strap hinges which are bolted through the cover and the deck. I replaced mine old broken hinges with new ones, overfilling the old holes with thickened epoxy and re-drilling as typically suggested. No problems with leaks. Here’s a link to the hinge: http://www.marinepartdepot.com/hedustststhi2.html
