floor board latches

kaniksu · #1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2007

I recently bought a new (used) boat and am interested in retro fitting some sort of latches in the floor boards to keep them in place if I get knocked down. Anyone have recommendations on specific hardware to install and where to buy. My floor boards are the standard teak/holly and range in size from about 12"X18" to maybe 18"X30" ...around 10 total. Also I have numerous panels under the settee seats covering the storage areas that are 1/2" thick painted plywood. Any suggestions on keeping them in place?

Thanks

Steve

Look at these at PYI. They are not cheap! http://www.pyiinc.com/index.php?sect...tion=main&sn=1

I'm interested in this as well. I have NO floor latches, so I'm up for any suggestion that makes sense.

try...
www.perko.com pgs 199-229
(careful, the pdf catalog is 45MB) more latches, handles,hooks, locks, pulls, and bits than The Gods should allow.
