Greetings to all. I am a new Grady owner, having recently purchased a 2001 Voyager. The boat has Moonlight ports on the cabin and one of the opening ports is missing a latch. Every heavy rain results in water in the cabin.

I'm searching for a reliable, reasonable, parts distributor for Moonlight parts. Specifically a 91 series, left hand latch (the manufacturer, BSI, part number is: X022127130-1).

I tried searching the forum here but came up empty.

Thanks in advance for any guidance/suggestions.

John

You can check and verify this, but I did a quick, 30 second google and came up with www.bsidk.com as their website. They list their US distributor contact info in their "about us" section. Call them and see what they can do - or ask for a retailer.

Or ask your dealer.

In the meantime, why not tape over your hatch?

Thanks very much.

I had done the same - a quick internet search - and found both BSI direct and the distributor, AB Marine as well as Rig-Rite. AB Marine responded very quickly and said that the replacement part would be about $39 (not surprising) but also estimated shipping at $45! I'm awaiting a response from Rig-Rite and BSI. I was hoping perhaps others on the forum had found a more reasonably-priced supplier.

Thanks again for the assist. If I discover a better solution or supplier I'll update this post.

UPDATE: Rig-Rite had the latch. Price wasn't too bad, and the shipping was MUCH more reasonable than the AB Marine/ BSI quote.
