Seacraft06 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 The latch on one of my bow hatches broke. I am looking to order a Gemlux compression latch to replace it. Anyone done this or know which one is the correct size? It does not need to be a locking latch. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Gemlux #1263-2 or #2263-2 depending on lock function., 2-1/2" hole size. Here's a link: http://www.gemlux.com/catalog/latch-liftturn I replaced my starboard latch with a locking version some years ago. Just something to slow them down. Bit of a tussle getting the old one out, but otherwise it's straightforward. Seal it up with LifeCaulk or any good sealant. For what it's worth, I just pulled my original out of the drawer if your interested in a "vintage" part that needs some cleaning up. Won't fit in a Priority Mail box, so it would cost me about $10 to ship UPS. If you want it, it's yours delivered for $35. Otherwise Gemlux has plenty of shiny new ones with newer seals !
