Where can I find a cam bar for a lock assembly?

[drewkaree]

I'm looking for the gold metal piece in this pic. I can find the ENTIRE lock assembly, but all I need is that one little piece, and I'm not wanting to pay $30+ for the whole assembly just to get that piece. Any ideas?

Which one did you break? I'm not sure how it happened, but since we picked the boat up, the one that was broken was the one on the hatch cover for the cleanout plugs. It's nowhere to be found, but I DO remember them telling me that they left the cleanout plugs out when the salesman first launched the boat prior to our arrival, so my guess is that they busted it clean off when panicking, trying to open that hatch, and it's now sitting at the bottom of Lake Butte des Morts

On the water, we sucked up a stick or something, then blew it out. Had the wife double-check the cleanouts, since my hands are too big to really get down there well. Usually, I secure them... but she did it this time. Blew the stbd plug as soon as we revved up after no wake area. It shot up and hit the hatch and busted it off. I found it laying in the hatch area. Killed the engines and everything. Was able to keep the hatch closed and safety button depressed with just the port latch, so it wasn't a big deal.

Next time we go out, we'll do another training on how to make sure the plugs are secure. This was probably her first time doing it.

That does look right. Same seller has a short and a long one, so now I just gotta measure to make sure I get the right size. Thanks!

I went ahead and ordered one... so hoping it's right. Lol

Dunno if you've got a different measurement, but mine is 2 1/4", and this will fit. Also ordered. Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

I got mine in, but don’t have my boat back yet. Hopefully, before this weekend I’ll get to try it out.

The new boat plugs are twist lock.

I knew they where different, just didn’t know “how”

 

[Beachbummer]

This is the first report of a blown plug of the screw-on kind I remember seeing on the site. Hopefully just a fluke. Best of Luck.

 

[jcyamaharider]

This was not a blown plug.....it wasn't inserted and locked fully. The new twist lock plug is fantastic!

 

[drewkaree]

Same with mine, this was NOT a blown plug. I am guessing as to how they busted my cam latch, but given all the other loose screws and bolts on this that I've been finding, my thought is that the latch wasn't adjusted properly, and when they went to open the hatch( salesman admitted to this not having to clean out plug installed properly), in their Panic while on the water, they were able to easily snap the cam latch

Well... Tomato tomahto...
Accidental Shot, or Negligent Discharge

Blown Plug (from my made up dictionary: )
The plug dislodged at an undesired time after appearing to the operator that all was well earlier.

Point taken that it was due to improper install, which is awesome, and confirms the plugs do very well when used as intended...but it blew...
