F32 Forward Hatch Latches

Post by rossjo »

Good morning.

Does anyone know where to find the original forward hatch latches used on the F32 (1974 model in my case). :?:

I have 2 that need replacing, but will replace all of them (6 total) when I find them.

The latches each mount to the Acrylic with 2 screws and hang down and snap into latches mounted on the hatch frame on the deck.

Thank you in advance for any help...

Will upload photo ... probably same as you have on your hatches Paul...

Swings loosely and catches in latch o with 2 "fingers", so it can be propped open a bit....

really? yours must have been replaced ...

Beacon says "Hatch lock used on all F-Series boats" on https://www.trojanboats.net/zencart/ind ... 4dde32fe04

What do you have?

Those are Perko latches, do an Internet search I've seen them for $47.
Those are not original my original had a chrome U section not plastic....... was not able to find them so replace one with the Perko.
Here is what mine looked like before I sold them.
