vdrive/bow thruster
its on the starboard side of the starboard hinge running aft forward.
i have 2 theory - 1 stress from years of lifting that heavy hatch with compartments having extra weight and those hinges being small in comparison to width of hatch. or 2- the actuators not lifting evenly and causing stress on that corner. my plan is to remove the entire hatch this off season and have the brackets joined with a piece of aluminum stock and through bolting along its length to strengthen it. and obviously fixing that corner damage.
