TACO Marine Walk-Thru Windshield Latch F16-2900 Stainless Steel Deck and Door Mount

The TACO Marine F16-2900 is a stamped stainless steel walk-thru windshield latch designed to secure a boat's windshield door to the front deck. It mounts between the deck and the windshield door frame, giving boaters a reliable way to open, close, and lock a walk-thru windshield without hardware flex or corrosion concerns typical of lower-grade metals.

A positive spring lock feature holds the door securely in the open position, so the latch will not drift shut or rattle while underway or at anchor. The latch is built for a 1 inch by 2 inch deck mount area and a 5/8 inch by 1 inch door mount area, and it installs using #8 screws. Its stainless steel construction and silver finish are made to withstand ongoing exposure to sun, salt, and moisture on a boat's foredeck.

This latch is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and is intended as a direct fit replacement for the walk-thru windshield latch position it serves, using the same F16-2900 mounting footprint.
