Re: How do you hold down flush hatches?

These flush hatches sound pretty good, but how do you hold them tightly shut? Straps? Internal bungies?

How about the water that gets into the space between the hatch cover and the deck - doesn't it get into the compartment when you open the hatch?

Thanks, Will
