Help getting a part!

[Ross Dickson]

I need the floor ski storage latch for a 1998 185 sport. My latch handle broke, and there is really no way to open the ski storage compartment.



I called tracker and they said they don't have this part anymore. Crap. Anyone know of anywhere to get something like that?

Try bolting a nylon web handle to the hatch.



Edit: The latch is not made by Tracker anyways. Check the name on it and contact the manufacturer. I'll look at mine tonight if I remember! If the fish are biting, I'll forget!

that would be awesome if you could check for me tonight. my boat is about an hour away from me.

It's probably a Perko latch.

I think you're right! That looks to be the ticket.



thanks so much.

it is a perko latch or a T-H Marine and i have a couple of extras at home if you need to buy one from me. it will not come with the lever that is nbolted to the bottom that catches the boat to keep it from opening.
