On our boat the teak covering the starboard lazerette hatch is hinged. I open the lazerette by grabbing the latch. We remove the seats when we aren't using the boat. The hinge pins have a length of string attached and are easily removed by pulling the string.
Same here. Hinged STBD locker and the rest stay in place with small guide blocks screwed into the seats. Thus I never imagined removing them because the blocks would have to go and we'd have screw holes. Only issue I have with them is the Lazarette. The curved aft helmsman seat means that you can't open the laz all the way. So it has to be set aside if anything big is coming out.
