MJM, not to worry.  There isn't anything very heavy in the pockets.  I would
guess about 20 pounds max.  The heaviest thing we keep up there is the
companionway hatch cover.  We open it up and lay it flat under the cushions
so it's out of the way.  I've tried stowing it up under the gun'll but I
don't like wrestling it in and out of there. I wouldn't put it in the laz.
Because it would probably lay on top of stuff and block access to said
stuff, hence, more wrestling.  Maybe somebody on the list has a clever place
to stow it.  I'm all ears.
