source for replacement latches for engine cover?

[samjr]

I am looking for replacement latches that will stay down flat so my kids can walk safely on the engine cover area without stubbing toe on the latch that keeps popping up. Anyone know of a source?

Are you looking for original style ones, or something different?


Did you try West Marine?

If you click the Overton's banner we have on our site and buy something, we get a little fee from them at no cost to you. :thumb:

Go right to the sorce look up PERKO and they will have hundreds to choose from. And you cut out the middle man in the price.

Talk to Mike at the factory. The Original were from Perco but they do not make that size any more. Mike makes custom bases for new latches, but you need to use the lock arms from the old latches. I picked mine up last year at the Poker run for $90.00 for both latches and custom bases for them to fit in the holes on My diplomat. Daren34's Eluder I/O uses the same latches by the way.
