Bow & Stern Lockers For XS Rib Craft

As we make every part of the boat in house so any locker design, location, space or shape can be provided, here are some "standard" options. No locker in an open boat can be considered 100% waterproof, valuables should always be in dry bags within the locker. Lockers should be checked daily if they have electrical items in them and water sponged out.

OPEN BOW LOCKER:

All VALUE craft have an open bow locker, there is a cleat and eye bolt fitted.

CLOSED BOW LOCKER:

When the closed bow locker is opted for in the XS 460-500-540-570-515-545-585 it will be like this, hatch size will vary depending on the boat.

There is an on deck cleat, or bollard, and eye bolt within the locker.

CLOSED BOW LOCKER

This is the standard bow locker on the XS 550-600-650-700 Deluxe. There is an on deck cleat, or bollard, and eye bolt within the locker.

CLOSED BOW LOCKER 750 AND LARGER

RAISED BOW LOCKER 460 +

Obviously size will depend on the model of the boat but this is is how a raised bow locker looks in craft XS 460 - 700 (Excluding Sport)

The samson post is extra. There is the option of a cushion to the locker top as well.

RAISED "HIGH LINE" BOW LOCKER 750 AND LARGER

The Raised bow locker in the XS 750-850-990 sits on the in deck locker as shown, a cushion to the top is an option.

RAISED BOW LOCKER "LOW LINE"

We offer options on the bow locker, this is the low line with a curved back wall. A Cushion is supplied for the top. Here you can see the standard Osculati hatch on the top and the Upgrade to the Vetus waterproof hatch on the deck.

FULL WIDTH REAR LOCKER

Available on all craft this will vary in size depending on the model of boat. There is the option to upgrade the standard

hatches to VETUS water proof ones.

Craft fitted with an A frame, smaller than the XS 750, are not wide enough to have an Aux Motor with a single main engine. You need The Aux Engine Rear Locker (Below) that allows the wider frame to be used.

FULL WIDTH REAR LOCKER with raised front wall:

Available on all craft this will vary in size depending on the model of boat. There is the option to upgrade the standard hatches to VETUS water proof ones.

The raised wall increases freeboard at the transom and may be a requirement for a coded craft.

SPORT REAR LOCKER

Available on all craft this will vary in size depending on the model of boat. There is the option to have a bench seat to the front of this unit. This also gives the required freeboard on a single install if the boat is to be coded.

AUXILLARY ENGINE REAR LOCKER

750-990 craft are wide enough to take an Auxillary motor straight on the transom with a single main motor install. 550 - 700 are not so this design of locker moves the A frame out on to the tube top to give more room for an Aux motor. This needs to be specified at build. This also gives the required freeboard on a single install if the boat is to be coded. The a frame and the Locker are priced seperately.

HATCH Types:

The hatches supplied as standard, grey, white and black solid plastic hatches shown in the images above are NOT FULLY waterproof.

If you require a locker to be MORE water proof, ie resist water entry when IMMERSED then an upgrade to Vetus type, metal framed hatches will be required. HOWEVER even then water will still get in to lockers and they need to be checked regularly and water may need to "sponged out"
