I'm looking for hardware pieces

[Skinnywater]

I've done an exaustive search for these two items. If possible I'd like to purchase from iboats.com.<br />The first is a latch. It is a simple stainless design that is approx. 1.5X1.5 in. To latch it you engage the latch hook and rotate the wing section 1/4 turn clockwise, this clamps the latch. This wing section now simply lays into a lockable hasp. Very simple lightwieght and durable.<br /><br />The second piece mounts on the top of the bow. It is approx. 7-8 inches long and looks like a grab handle. However, it is channeled on top so that an anchor rope can be guided or laid securely over it lenghtwise. Again very simple, lightwieght and durable. It is made from aluminum.<br /><br />Would anyone know the proper names of these pieces and a source for purchase. <br />Thank you.

Is this what you want for a latch? It seems to fit your description.<br /> http://www.shop4classics.com/product.asp?lid=267 <br /><br />You should be able to get one at a decent sized hardware store.

#2, A line "Chock" perhaps?

I believe No.1 is called a "safety hasp" and No.2 sounds like a chock to me, too. I've never seen one made from aluminum, though. They're usually SS or chrome plated brass. If you can't find them at iboats, BOAT/US has them.

I believe this is #1<br /><br />

<br /><br />And is the possibly #2?<br /><br />

<br /><br />or is this it?<br /><br />

Re: I'm looking for hardware pieces

I'm still searching. <br />At first glance the latch would look like half of an old can opener wing. Once the flat hook was engaged, you twist this "wing" with thumb and forefinger 1/4 turn clock wise. This motion clamps the latch. By simply letting go of this "wing" it drops into place so that the hole in this "wing" drops over a tang that will take a small lock.<br /><br />The anchor chock that looks like a pull handle has a topside that if viewed from front to rear is shaped like a "U" the entire length. This could also be described as a saddle. The anchor rope sits in this "U" and is tied off to a seperate cleat mounted behind it.<br />Thanks again.

It's taken hours to find this latch. I had to enter winged rotary latch.<br /><br /> http://www.southcoipsg.com/prd/deta...deID=5688&nLang_ID=0&vPN=K3-2403-52&vPN2=NULL <br /><br />I'm still looking for the chock.
