Sea-Dog 324140-1 Single Wing Nylon Windshield Latch, 1-9/16 Inch, Black, Pair

The Sea-Dog 324140-1 is a single wing windshield latch used to secure boat windshield doors with a simple twist design, preventing rattling caused by engine vibration at high speeds. It is molded from UV resistant black nylon, so it holds up to sun and saltwater exposure without cracking or fading over time. The latch measures 1-9/16 inches in overall length with a 13/16 inch tab height, a 3/16 inch mounting screw diameter, and a 5/16 inch tab lift. It is sold as a pair, giving you both latches needed for a typical windshield door installation. The twist-to-lock action lets you open and close the windshield door quickly by hand, without tools, while still holding the door firmly shut while underway. Because the housing and wing are injection molded as one nylon piece, there is no metal to corrode, making this latch a low-maintenance option for boats that see regular exposure to sun and spray. It mounts with small screws through the 3/16 inch diameter holes in the base. This is a direct, factory-style replacement for boats originally equipped with Sea-Dog single wing latches of this size, and it is commonly used when rebuilding or repairing windshield door hardware on runabouts, center consoles, and similar boats.
