I am wanting to change the aft storage latches out to something lockable. I know they would be easy to break in to, but I am looking at keeping the honest people honest.

Seen some at south co, but didn't see the exact measurements.

Anyone change these out and have a part number handy?

Thanks in advance

Sticker shock! Thank you for saving me a ton of time. I can't believe they want $80 each for them.... I can put the $160 toward the nice fiberglass dock box :)

Yes, a lot of gas money, or beer money. You could add much more of a common lock or two on it for less than $25.

I propose a 2 part security system:

1) change boat name to something clever where you can swap out the word Dock and replace it with Gloc.

2) purchase a pair of size 16 flip flops to leave on the swim platform when you are not there.

You could do the plastic version of the latch:

They are cheaper, but.........they are cheaper....

Or you could add simple locks like this near the existing latches for a fresh water boat:

These worked perfect, They are a cheap lock that looks better than it is.... if someone want to get in, you could break the lock mechanism with a screwdriver fairly easy, keep the honest people honest...

The screws that came with it are too short, so i used the originals that were on the black plastic latches....

Thank you
