My cuddy hatches were in the way of the anchor system I need for river fishing here, so I removed the slider rails. Another V-20 guy near me had canvas made, like bgreen - I just tuned up the seals on the sliding hatches, installed 4 eye bolts and hold the hatches down with bungies - it works well for me and I made a storage rack I’m the space under the deck to stow the hatches when they’re off (so they don’t clutter up the cuddy and get in the way when working with the anchor rope).
Nothing wrong with the canvas solution, but mine will be more secure if I can figure out a locking hold-down system.
