Our 29-2 came with the port locker lid glued down. I cut the hardened mastic with a hacksaw blade, cut a hole in the top of the space, cleaned up the lid and added a piano hinge, and used the space for hanging bags of empty cans, etc. There was a capped through-hull down below which had never been used. Our current boat has the starboard locker lid glued down, and so far I haven't been motivated to repeat the process, which is long and convoluted. The 35 does not have a factory through-hull below the locker, and neither boat had a proper propane locker in place under the glued lid.
