Do these fish boxes interfere with the hatch latches?
I re installed our small fish box for a few years and had to eliminate one latch due to me not wanting to chop holes in the box

Yes, they do interfere with the hatch latch. You will have to notch out the box in order for it to function correctly or do just like you did and remove the bottom part of the latch that goes into the notch. The ones from the factory already have the notch in the box. Hope this helps.
