no thats not it. I will have to put a pic on here of it. it looks like it is the one that came on the boat in 86. its long and skinny, story of my life:offtopic: any ways it has a pop up latch and like i was saying it is rectangular in shape. i will put pic tonight

I will PM you the number, the latches I bought from them were non locking and about 1.5x3 inches give or take. I searched all over, could not find them anywhere but Checkmate. They arent cheap, about $50 each.

Yup, unless you can figure out who manufacturers them, Checkmate is the only place you will find them. I looked everywhere and finally ponied up and got them from Mike.

[TheNerd]

I thought I could tell you who made them, but I tossed the boxes they came in. Darn it!!

[durango4you]

anyone know how to put pic in here

[powerstroker]

Do they look like these ? These are off my 97 Playmate - they are Perkos if I am recall.

The replacement ones they sell look a bit different, but get the job done.
