Hunter 38 Engine Cover/Stairs Latch Repair

[mpearce]

Hi All,
The latch on my companionway stairs/engine cover has eaten away the floor wood and now the engine cover will not stay down. I’m not able to readjust the latch to make it work. Has anyone encounter this and found a fix? Maybe a different type of latch?

Fix it, order a nice cover made of polished A4 with a hole cut out and it will last forever. This lock can be adjusted, I have the same thing in mine and recently I had to adjust it after replacing the gas shock absorbers with new ones. Best regards M
