Which one has the typo? http://www.whalercentral.com/profile....okup=42044 Any photo of what you have now?

I think it is a must to store valuables (fish finder/chart plotter and or personal items) when you trailer and park or when you slip or dock for a little bit while visiting/sight seeing. I lock my floaty boat key and car-key(s) and just have the little black key in my pock or change pocket of my swimming trunks I had a hard time finding the lockable latch but was successful see https://photos.app.goo.gl/rqhcJ2IkAUh...kAUhAuKXz1 This was a Southco M series latch (as is the original) see I can't remember the Part Number but look at your current one and see https://www.southco.com/en-us/m1-fp?i...p;filters= for the correct one. Not inexpensive like said above but well worth the investment. Edited by EJO on 03/26/18 - 12:11 PM Skipper E-J m/v "Clumsy Cleat" a 2008 Montauk 150
