    I was told by Phoenix no. Not without drilling a bigger hole and other mods

    I turned all my handles around and have never turned them back to the locked shut direction since I got my boat. The latches never fly open. If you dont like looking at the back of them you can unbolt and turn the latch part on the inside of the door around and not have to mess with them.

    This is what I plan to do - its nice to be able to open a rod locker without HAVING to grab the latch too.

    Will they offer them on other boats than the new 20 and 21 PHX models?

    I had my sales person reach out to Phoenix about 5 weeks ago and Jeff said they were only available on the PHX boats.

    the holes in the lids would have to be closer to the edge of the lids and will only be available PHXs for now
