V20 Cuddy I/O Motor Box

[bobj]

pretty sure the marks on top are where a handle was installed for lifting the cover. Probably by a PO. If you want a handle a flush mount handle works well there w a little work. The channel should have a matching piece that is installed in reverse of that piece ( one up one down). It will engage that piece and support the back of the cover. Latches can be installed on the floor close to the transom if needed. engine dog house latches can be stainless or rubber covered and can be found on the net. good luck
