I'm new to Boston Whaler's and have looked over this site and have done many google searches for ordering parts for a
1999 Dauntless 18'. I've located the part number from the Boston Whaler website and its a recessed latch 1043298. It looks like a simple replacement and I took the part out of the seat cover (holds the seat cover to the seat base), but there are a dozen recessed latches on different websites. I'm hoping someone can help me find this part - lost four life jackets driving over the weekend. I recently bought the boat and the previous owner seems to have had a problem finding the correct part and put a latch that will not close the cover properly. Thanks for any help!!
(corrected to proper name of Dauntless 18' for clarification as the 3 digit name did not start until 2002)

Hello Peter,
Welcome aboard Whaler Central.
You have a Dauntless 18' as the first 3 digit names did not start until 2002.
You should see Dauntless 18' decal on the side of your boat somewhere if it is original.

Inquire about that part number from a Whaler dealer if you are having problems.
Make sure that part is available and how much it is.
