Wow, I was just looking at those latches this morning and wishing someone else would try them out. I think they should work well. Go for it!

: Hi,

: I've been toying with the idea of using a new latch for my hatches, but I
: need some measurements before I can figure out which model I need. Given
: that I am planning ahead, and I don't have my boat fiberglassed yet, I
: can't measure my own. I've been using 1/4" strips, and I plan on
: using 6 oz glass, with the typical fiberglass lip for the hatches. Can
: anybody, tell me the total thickness of the hatch cover, and the total
: thickness of the fiberglass lip? Would it be between .075 -.475"
: (2-12mm) or .475 -.885" (12-22.5mm)?

: Has any ever tried these latches before? Seems like they would work well.
