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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e TACO Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e F16-2900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walk-Thru Windshield Latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeck Mount Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoor Mount Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e #8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 630838021153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUniversal walk-thru windshield installations using a 1 inch x 2 inch deck mount area and a 5\/8 inch x 1 inch door mount area\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers listed\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the TACO Marine F16-2900 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 is a walk-thru windshield latch that secures a boat's windshield door in the closed position and holds it open when needed, mounting between the front deck and the door frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the F16-2900 latch made of stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the F16-2900 is a stamped stainless steel latch with a silver finish, built to resist corrosion from ongoing sun and saltwater exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the F16-2900 hold the windshield door open on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a positive spring lock feature on the F16-2900 holds the door securely in the open position without needing to be propped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size mounting area does the F16-2900 require?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 needs a 1 inch by 2 inch mount area on the deck and a 5\/8 inch by 1 inch mount area on the windshield door frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size screws are used to install the F16-2900?\u003c\/strong\u003e Number 8 (#8) screws are used to mount the F16-2900 windshield latch to the deck and door frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the F16-2900 windshield latch weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 weighs 0.28 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and orientation is the F16-2900 latch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 has a silver finish and is designed for front mounting on the windshield door assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a warranty on the F16-2900 latch?\u003c\/strong\u003e TACO Marine backs the F16-2900 with a 5-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the F16-2900 fit any boat with a walk-thru windshield?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 fits any walk-thru windshield setup that matches its 1 inch by 2 inch deck mount area and 5\/8 inch by 1 inch door mount area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the F16-2900 latch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F16-2900 is a single stainless steel windshield latch unit;
