I am replacing my 2nd latch within 18 months of purchasing the boat. Anyone else having this problem? The latches are made of hard plastic with the exception of a tiny metal pin inside it that holds the engine compartment closed. My most recent one was already snapped when I went to open and clean the engine bay after a trip to the coast so I am wondering if maybe the compartment is not holding tight and bouncing while we are traveling on the highway. I have ordered some weather strips to lay down that I am hoping will help limit the bounce of the engine compartment. Just don't want to be replacing these latches every 6 months as they are close to 80$ a pop from Yamaha....
