Canopy Safety latch
What do you all do for canopy latches. I see this one from Tiger:
http://store.tigerperformance.com/safety-latch-kit.aspx but contrary to their website, after you buy the latch, then you have to buy the pin and the lanyard. What I thought was $110 each (times 4) ended up being like $170 each Any other ideas out there? |

Do you really want a bargain on something so important?
If there is not a better option, I will probably buck up to it. |
Jeff, not sure about your bat, but ours used long rubber straps that looped over pins on the outside and inside so the door could be opened from either side. Not the best latch but the doors arent the strongest either. GlassDave probably knows where to get the straps.

After all the fatalities due to canopy failure, how in God's name can we have aany kind of conversation around saving money in that area? If you don't use the best hinges and latches that money can buy....... at least spend what you save on life insurance for your family.

T2x My boat is equipped with the same latches as all of the US built boats. I just think that the latches on the European boats look like a better, safer, setup. I was just looking for options. I will not be racing the boat at all. That all said, I sure appreciate you looking out for me! |

The other and equally important issues are the mounting of the canopy itself and the material used in its construction. T2x |

Or no restraints in a collision even without boats flipping... |
