I have had a similar but more serious problem with the contents of my day hatch ricocheting around when I do lots of rolls. The more serious aspect is that the items are expensive radios, phones and EPIRBS two of which have been damaged. I've also had Aquapacs punctured by sharp edges hitting the indide of the hatch and missiles knocking the wires for my bilge pump off the battery terminals. I have got around it by loosely wrapping hard items in sheet foam, leaving dry bags partially inflated (but can still get them out the hatch at sea) and mounting some shock cord bungies in the hatch to tie things down. These can be released easily at sea.
