I had to have keys made for one of my rod lockers today, seems it was a different lock than the other side :roll: Not too bad though, the locksmith made me 2 keys & only charged me $5.

The hatches are aluminum (as is the entire boat) and the only 2 locks currently are the rod lockers. They are the threaded cylinder type with a flat "foot" on the bottom that just captures the lip on the hatch opening. I want to stay with this type lock, since they look the cleanest & are the lease intrusive.

Anyone have a line on them? I searched the web, but no luck. I'd like 2 for the front 2 hatches, and 2 for the rears (since each house batteries). Wouldn't worry about the livewell.

Thanks

I have never bought from this place but they have several styles.

Google cabinet locks or camlocks and there were several sites. I hope this helps.
 
I've got to pick up 5 or 6 cam locks myself for the MirroCraft conversion. I just haven't gotten motivated to drop $6 each on them yet.

When I do, I'm ordering all of them keyed alike!

Thanks phased! I think they have exactly what I'm looking for:

$23 for 4 lock assemblies is pretty fair price. lol, unless S&H is the killer. May have to give 'em a call in the next couple days & see. Being keyed alike was another question.

I was just Googling "hatch locks".

Thanks for the help!

I added a set of lock latches to my battery compartment (couldn't figure out why that didn't have locks). I got mine from my local Tracker service center. Got 'em keyed the same as the rest of my original locks.
 
Lowe's use to carry them,but they are steel and will rust over time.Seems like the were in the hardware section.Don't remember the cost.It was an item I used to restock when I was working there 10 or 11 years ago.

If you think those are high, check out the t handled locks like comes as original equipment on a lot of boats.

$6 would be an absolute steal.
