cockpit locker lid latch

Post by J D »

where does one find a replacement cam latch for the cockpit locker lid? I would be nice to find the same as the original so the hole pattern is the same. It's on a 27.

I used two of these latches on each lid. It will accept a lock (snap hook, cable tie, etc.) through the center hole and they will not accidently latch and trap one in the locker. I doubt that they will match the original hole pattern.

When I purchased my boat in Massachusetts, a friend stopped by to help me get it ready for my journey South. He wanted to make a couple holes to install some equipment that he was lending me for the trip. Having just taken possession of the boat, I was reluctant to make any holes, especially for temporary equipment. Now I spend most of my time filling holes and making new ones (and sometimes filling them again).
