Anchor Stow deck lock

[melvyn.trigg]

Can anyone advise where to purchase a new deck lock, for the bow anchor stow hatch lock on a Catalina 36 Mk II - 1996, as ours has corroded through, splitting the housing on the twist clasp. Not sure why Catalina did not use Stainless steel for this component, rather than cast aluminium.

We keep our boat 'Ocean Grace' in the Ionian, Greece, although we live in the UK. But any outlets contact details/email would be appreciated.

Mel.

West Marine or any major supplier such as Defender.

Catalina Direct sells some beefier S.S. replacement hinges for the original type.
But prehaps you can find a distributor or chandlery locally that sells something similar.
Otherwise you will have to pay for some steep overseas shipping. But that may be a wash when comparing the cost of Euro takes these days! Cheers.

Many thanks, Catalina direct have come up with the part, complete with postage to the UK $16.00
