Hatch Latches

[GrantS]

Hello all,

I'm looking for a new set of foredeck escape hatch latches......

I have surfed the net for a set, but can't find anything like them.

I Don't know if they were just an eighties thing and don't exist any more or i am typing the wrong word to search for them.

Here is the best description that i can give you......... There are alloy two handles fixed to the foredeck hatch which rotate and each have a thick blade that locates into a black plastic channel (These plastic parts are just screwed to the inside of the boat). when you turn the handle the blade moves downwards and across in the channnel which pulls the hatch down tighter and then stops the hatch from being lifted up. I am after a pair the plastic channel parts. They are really crude in design and i thought that they would be easy to find, but it would appear not. If anybody knows where i can find a pair, or what they are actually called, i would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

I think ive got the same in mine.

I did happen to see the very things in Norfolk marine.

If they are what i'm thinking of.. Give them a ring. The old boy in there is very helpful
