While my jet boat is on the trailer for recent repairs I decided to replace the gas struts 5200-30A. I obtained a new set and installed them. They work fine but the hatch does not open as wide as I would like. I am still investigating other options.
In the meantime when I obtained the boat it did not have a complete hatch latch. It seems the locking mechanism was removed and never replaced. I have yet to find an exact replacement on line. I will be posting some photos of what I have as soon as I get on my laptop.
The new struts I installed are very strong and will tend to open the hatch on its own. It is therefore very important that I either purchase the correct hatch latch or try to devise another way to keep the hatch from opening
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated Thanks so much,
Ski

Purchased from Amazon. The white Perko hatch latch was much more expensive so I went with the black. Installed and works well with the new struts.
