The latch broke on my drivers side storage bay. Looking on the parts web site I see the door itself but no indication of the latch part #. Here is a picture. I just need the round Latch assembly. I assume this is a latch they sourced from somewhere... Any ideas?

I think I've seen stuff like that at West Marine. I'd bet it's standard issue. |

Hmmm I think these are the ones. I might get 2 metal ones to replace the plastic... http://www.southco.com/class/m1-flush-pull-latches-7390.html |

This might even be one that fits... 30 bucks for stainless on eBay... not bad... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Southco- ... iesQ5fGear |

Sigh  My boat is 98 miles away and i did not measure!!! I know I have found the correct latch but there are 4 sizes. Can anyone who happens to go on their boat any time soon (of my boats vintage) measure the hole size for the latch? http://www.southco.com/class/m1-flush-p ... ml?ctid=85 Thanks in advance!!! |

OK so I was able to remove the latch over the weekend. Definitely off the shelf part and made by Southco (see link above). I think I am going to replace the 4 black ones (same latch is used on the anchor locker, 2 storage bay doors and the "lid" over the portable head) with the stainless steal ones. Hopefully prevent another breakage... I think it will look nice as well since all of the hinges are stainless. Worthy upgrade I hope

Nice post. That fills in some blanks as to where some of my latches came from. |

Yes I like it a lot! I noticed over the weekend that the locking latch on the glove compartment is also the same cheap black plastic so I am going to see if I can replace that one as well... |

They look real nice , good job on the installs. Same latches that came on our new boat. It's nice to be able to lock them when you are away, or in storage. |

Where did you pick these up at, and how much? Best I have seen is $32 for non locking at fpmarine.com |

I went on Ebay. The seller is Teak Isle, Inc. I paid 29.75 each. They are the locking type... |
