Can someone tell me what the bow locker latch for an 1986 17 Montauk looks like. The one on my boat is brass colored, yet the hinges are Chrome or SS. I'm wondering if the latch is supposed to match the hinges? Anyone have a picture? Thanks.
We have many, many, many photos of these parts in project albums, personal pages, and the "OEM Part Photos and Info" section.... All those links can be found on the left sidebar.

There was no bow locker latch on the 1986 Montauk 17. Whaler never installed latches on the bow lockers of small classic Whalers. I do not know why not. Without a latch the hatch flaps every time you go over a wave.
The best latch I have found for the classic Montauk is the anti-rattle hold down design by Perko, though other manufacturers have similar latches. Either chrome plated bronze or stainless steel are preferred.
