one to 'er vis-a-vis 'er original state, please educate me as to the follow=

1-the port side electronic panel won't stay up (closed), what should retain=
the 'door'=20
2-the interior cabin top panels have formerly been removed and some edges a=
re now uneven after reinstallation. Suggestions for installing with smooth =
in-line edging (in the same plane) is needed.=20
3-the head hatch has no securing member(s) for the locking handles. What sh=

4-how should the Yanmar be prepared for storage. I don't know what, if anyt=
