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:

Next up on my winter project list: reinforcing the anchor locker lid
attachment.
C&C's are made really well for the most part, but I had a "what were they
thinking???" moment this weekend. I was investigating the anchor
locker lid
hinge (which is screwed into a recessed area of the deck) because several
screws have pulled out and there are rust stains. The surprise was it
looks
like the 15-20 screws for the hinge went into wood coring. Screws in wood
core, in the wettest part of the boat! (the foredeck takes the most
waves,
and when at dock it's always humid from rain)

Has anyone else redone their anchor locker hinge? Can you confirm
that it's
cored, or am I on the crazy pills?
The reason I suspected core in the first place is that the lid hinge is
about 1" outside of the deck area where all fiberglass was used along the
toe rail. Tap testing / sounding doesn't reveal any significant
differences, so I think the issue is very contained, surprisingly. It
seems
like if they had made the anchor locker an inch or so wider, they
wouldn't
have had to screw in to coring - but maybe the fiberglass layer isn't
thick
enough to fit the screws. Anyway, I'm thinking ream out some core
from each
hole, dry it out for 3-7 days (which may not be doable till the summer),
fill with thickened epoxy and redrill.
