[QUOTE="russ010, post: 294830, member: 677"] Just ordered some lid latches for the lids. If you've ever tried searching for the good stuff you find on bass boats - get ready to drop a fortune.. especially if you have as many lids as I do (12 total). I finally found a company that worked with me for what I was looking for: latches that would hold up to the elements, so I wanted a stainless still shaft as opposed to whatever it is in bass boats that seem to corrode over time.

I first saw their wireless locking latches on Tacklewarehouse, but I couldn't pull myself to drop that kind of money (even though I pondered for over 2 weeks) since I'll now be storing this boat in my garage and won't be spending much time at hotels for overnight fishing trips. I started scouring the web and saw they had their products on eBay, and all at very reasonable prices - along with locking, non-locking, as well as the wireless bundles. Here's the products - and look for them on eBay: https://www.sarasotaqp.com/ Here's the eBay store - https://stores.ebay.com/sarasota-quality-products If you look, they have latches like I got for $14 (non-locking), but these aren't the stainless shafts like I got.
