Can anyone point me to where I can find a replacement latch similar to the one shown, or inform me of one better? I am restoring a '92 Explorer 246G. Also, any ideas where I may find a new hatch or other cockpit box hatch lids for this style boat? Thanks in advance for any help.

I’d contact GW via their cust service web link. They should be able to provide info.

I finally found it after looking around forever! Boat Outfitters sales it as a windshield adjuster. Its the exact same hatch latch/support as shown in my picture above. Just wanted to post this followup to help save any future frustrations for others. https://www.boatoutfitters.com/windshield-adjuster

Thant's a good find. I have not seen that type of hold on a GW is many moons.
