Twist Latch

[Chutch]

Has anyone sourced a replacement hatch twist latch?

Make one using starboard. ( A fried who does woodworking and a scrap of starboard)
That said, it was used on so many Grady models and years, Grady probably would stock it.

Find comparable Stainless stock and modify to suit; or have local fabricator construct from Stainless to match existing.

Another option is to install flush mount latch pic'd below. Or Install hidden catch inside hatch - see below pic as well.




Flush mount



Hidden Catch = Ball Catch (adjustable hold tension)

It's not a lock. It's just a flat piece of plastic with a hole in the center. It looks like the 'latch' for the anchor locker lid. The examples of latches shown above would be difficult to mount if possible. Other type of latches could work but would be overkill. Here is a draw latc that would work if your issue is the anchor locker lid. It is the same latch that is common on the helm seat lockers on many models.

I'd go with something like this which is an OEM Grady White part, though it obviously doesn't have to be and you could spend $10 on something similar. But, it's a bit nicer looking and would hopefully cover up the existing screw hole and discoloration from what you currently have.

Thanks for the responses. it is for the anchor hatch on the bow and one for the fish box in the stern. I have some left over Starboard i'll use to make a replacement.

This is what I did as well. Easy to make with simple tools.
