Are you referring to the pin latch sockets for the fold engine well door?

I tried the last one, but didn't seem to be the best fit.

This is what was on my Grady. Made by Southco, Priced anywhere from $6 to $40. Just google image search Southco latch

Could you use a barrell latch? It would be more secure in pounding seas. But I honetly don't know if the existing type of latch is/isn't secure enough to start with.

Yes, you can use a barrell latch, but they have no give if they go through the glass on the sides. Sooner or later, someone's not paying attention when they raise the motor, and you end up with a busted wave gate, or motor cowling.

Ah, that makes sense why a "temporary" latch type thing is used. Good point.
