how is the best way to secure wheelhouse so it can be easily accessed

Bob K:
I assume you mean removed for access?   Build a coaming on deck at least 1/4" tall around the inside profile of your superstructure and a good fit. You can then just pull off the wheelhouse and the coaming helps prevent water getting inside the boat.

para_handy:
do you not need any type of fixing to secure it

Bob K:
If the coaming on the deck is continuous, at least 1/4" high, and a good slide-on fit, you shouldn't need any fixings.  The superstructure should fit snuggly like the lid of a box.

DavieTait:
small rare earth magnets ( 2mm diameter approx 1mm thick ) one at each corner will hold it in place , sounds too small BUT magnets that size can pick up my glasses with ease so more than strong enough to keep the casin attached ( especially up in the Blue Toon at the Lido !!)
