This little device that has arm and swivels to keep the plexiglass lid closed? Mine are all broken and I’m not sure what it is called.
TIA

GW uses a lot of Southco latches. Might be worth a search. Could try ebay as well.

I just purchased the exact same latches for 1998 GW 180. My latches were old and faded they are manufacture by Southco. the product is called "torque hinge 1.69 x1.44" i purchased at boat outfitters sku # 070-0201, Make sure you ask the quantity as they come two to one sku. Good Luck

Are you referring to the silver colored hinge in the photo. That looks like a plain hinge and not the spring loaded detent hinge. Pease provide more detail

I believe he's referring to the latch that keeps the lid closed and secured so it's not bouncing around and it looks like a single screw hole to the right that appears to have broken off. Not the hinge shown in the picture.

I guess that could be the case.
I was not sure if he was referring to the thingamajig or the doodad.

Thanks for everyone’s help.
I was referring to the swivel latch that keeps the plexi from bouncing around. It has a single screw and holds the plexiglass cover tight against the gel coat on the helm. There are two more that are used to keep the anchor hatch in the cabin closed.
