@Harshhobgoblin I checked my garage and while I still have every set of plugs I pulled out of the boat I can't find the latches and think they probably went in the trash (please don't tell @Geoff Cooper , he just won't understand)

Off topic, but Scott, are you going to the lake today? Wind is rough. We were planning to go out yesterday but didn't go.

Scott, thanks for checking I really appreciate it. I think I'll just order a new latch and cannibalize the parts I need. Where did you order your latches from?

@scokill not planning on taking the boat out at all this weekend, the girls are out of town and the boy doesn't care that much about it,

harsh- I can't remember where I bought them, probably west marine or overtons, maybe even amazon, they were about $23. ea

IMG_1887.jpg Adjust the length and hack saw off the extra material, they also come with the off set catch piece like some of the o.e ones use. price should be around $50 each, last latches you will ever have to install.

Pretty cheap insurance imo. I just ordered a set of EZ Locks just now @Cobra Jet Steering LLC . Even though I'm feeling really lucky. :p:D

Yes the ez locks are still available and if you live in Canada please email me if you want to order them since the web site has priority medium flat rate shipping programmed onto it but I can send them several ways to save shipping costs. I just had a Canadian order for one lock with 45 dollars for shipping so I sent them a partial refund and shipped it in a padded envelope to save them money.
I just bought a lock for my 2015 SX192, once the lock arrives do you drill the hole with the lock in gauged?
