Went for a rip on the lake one night last week. I get back to the dock and low and behold my engine hatch latch is gone!! I open the engine compartment and start looking around when I come to my senses and realize it is gone--bottom of the lake. Luckily I was able to order a new one from our friend Josh. It is chrome plated cast bronze. However, it only came with the pin you install through the bottom of the "stem" or shaft of the latch which locks into the engine hatch receiver with a 1/4 turn. There are typically a series of 2 washers and 2 springs (I think) which are installed once it is mounted on the engine hatch. It was giving me fits until I finally realized I needed to remove the engine hatch from the boat. It was much easier to work on once off, plus it solved the issue of losing hardware in the engine compartment. Could someone please snap a few closeups of the underside of their engine hatch in the vicinity of the hatch latch and or accurately describe the makeup and sequencing or placement of of the springs and washers mounted along the shaft. I have it "installed" but I am missing something. It is not quote right as the latch knob feels way too loose when the latch is "keyed" into the receiver when the hatch is closed. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
