I installed some flush mount perko style latches on my boat today. It came out nice and I put a quick little 'how to' article (with pics) together.

Nice!! I have been thinking about putting them on my livewell and storage compartments.

That's nice.

I missed the first tutorial on how to build a bass boat that needs latches. ;D  If I used that bit anywhere in my boat, I'd better have a plug ready!

I had already cut some holes in the boat when installing electronics but I knew if I messed up it would be covered or repairable (unoticeably). But cutting these had me a little twisted at first. Now the cherry is popped and the next tutorial will be installing a recessed well for the TM pedal! The best part is having the wife come out to the garage and say; "what the hell are you doing to the boat"!  ;D

Don't worry honey, just drilling some holes in it. :-?
