Cig hatch latches
 

Got a picture?

I need a couple too but at $40 a pop I'll keep using what I opted for when I couldn't locate them with is a stainless coupling nut. Just have to keep a wrench handy.

Eric, why couldn't we use something like this along with a piece of tubing as a spacer?

Here ya go. I'm pretty sure the bolts are 1/4-20 threads.

I ordered a couple sets of latches that were broken as well as some shock mounts, shocks, cooler latch, glove box latch, etc etc in a bulk order from Phil (Lipship). That little stuff drives me crazy if it's not working. I want to be able to open the hatches in the cabin and have the glove box latch when I close it, etc. All the OG stuff on the cigs is Perko. You can't beat the quality, fit, finish and feel of Perko stuff. ****s expensive because it's made in America right in the factory in Florida since '61. 4th generation family owned business since 1907. Spend the money once and be done.

How bout you order all the **** we need from Philly and hook us up with your dealer cost homie?

Yaaa, Homie...:D.....he probably gets free shipping to.............:poopoo:............jk Tankster.

LOL....Dude, I'm the guy that's always on the hunt for a good deal and cheap pricing but in the big scheme of things, these things aren't THAT much money and it's the little attention to details like that, that stick out like a sore thumb if they're busted or you used some off brand cheaper stuff.

LOL...I paid for shipping!:D

That's my thinking.. he bought the Cig not a Bayliner... Perko has a pretty good reputation for holding up but it isn't indestructible....Sh*tty hardware is like putting 3.0L in your boat and trying to pass it off as one of the Offshore Cig Family (And I'm not talking about 3.0L Whipples).

I have NO PORBLEM in the least with anyone trying to save money (and thank you for not ripping me a new one) but I have looked after a lot of high end clients with high end toys as well as my own. The Perkos last for X years but they are mechanical and so prone to fail... Cig used these hatches/harware for a reason and its not to capitalize on Perko making $40 on a replacement piece year down the road - they work and not bulky (And most Perko products stay in their catalogue for years + its a 30sec replacement process with a few screws in the factory holes)

Apologies for the 3.0L it was on the extreme side. CIg is a great boat, always has been but, IMHO - dropping solid money on engines & upkeep YTY for reliability, readily drop a few hundred $$$ on fuel for a weekend and then saying no way to good (visually compact) hardware (that has lasted for years) is like seriously??? again no offense - just the way I deal with long term repairs and spending my $$$ once if at all possible.

Or.. someone "makes" a latch "work" but it leaks - ruins the interior... how much $$$ was saved? or... another way to look at it, you would spend that much at the liquor store for entertaining and everyone just whizzes that investment off the swim platform

ohhhh i got that beat:bananalove:

LOL, yours was on the short list. Still no luck? Man, I'd think that thing would've been long sold.

I thought you just called because you missed my voice. And you were like 4 whiskeys in :kiss:

Just so everyone knows, Kelly's just frustrated right at this moment. Soon, he'll be all smiles and big waves to everyone as he's blasting down the water. Then, while kickin back in the cove he's gonna look over at a hatch latch and be like, "Sh*t, I need to order some perko latches, these are a little dull." LOL ;)

^^^ How did the prop test go Re: Frisckstyle thread you started?

there was actually a guy on here that was taking those latches and taking off the plastic and putting billet on them. i wanted them but he couldnt produce them fast enough for the demand.. i just saw two of mine cracked in the tiger so ill be ordering 2 as well.

Check a local dealer for Price - Perko is selling them on Amazon so to "protect" their end retailers, they have to set the price at full MSRP... if nobody wants to swing a deal - amazon delivers to the door
