A T-bar lockable linkage is deployed between the gunnels and forward seating or casting area of a marine craft and effective to limit opening of an array of side and central storage containers including a telescoping cross bar assembly that is connected to mounting brackets at the sides of the front boat deck. The mounting brackets include universal connectors that allow self alignment of the cross bar assembly, notwithstanding varying boat configurations or installation inaccuracies. The cross bar assembly includes a slotted slidable hub that may be aligned with a forward anchorage location, preferably an existing pedestal base for a swivel boat seat. The cross bar assembly includes matching holes aligned with a medial slot in the hub. A front anchor is releasably attached to the front pedestal base and slidably receives a center locking bar. With the center locking bar in place, the front anchor is conditioned against removal. The center locking bar is aligned with and closely overlies the center storage lockers and includes a terminal end that is received in the hub slot and a projecting locating pin that is received in the cross bar holes thereby limiting relatively movement therebetween and preventing disengagement from the mounting brackets. The hub carries a keyed locking device including a latch bolt that engages the center locking bar to unitize the assembly and prevent separation of the components.
