There's nothing quite like the peace of mind that comes from knowing your boat's valuables are safely secured when you're out on the water. Whether you're fishing, cruising, or simply enjoying a day on the lake, you want to trust that your equipment and personal belongings are protected from prying eyes and unauthorized access.
This T-handle latch from Whitecap Industries is specifically designed for freshwater boats, offering the perfect balance of security and convenience. The 3" black nylon handle provides a comfortable grip while the keyed lock mechanism ensures only you have access to your boat's storage compartments. It's the kind of detail that makes a real difference in your daily boating experience.
What sets this latch apart is its thoughtful design. The threaded offset cam bar comes with a set screw, allowing you to achieve that perfect, snug fit for your specific application. During installation, the included neoprene O-ring keeps the cam in position while you work, then simply remove and dispose of it once everything's tightened down. This smart design feature makes installation straightforward and ensures a secure hold every time.
Boats come in all shapes and sizes, which is why Whitecap offers optional cam bars to suit different needs. If you require a longer offset reach, the S-226LO provides 2-7/8" of length. For straight applications, choose between the S-226A long straight cam (2-5/8") or the S-226SL short straight cam (1-7/8"). All locking handles in this series are keyed alike, so one key works for multiple latches on your vessel.
When you need replacement keys, they're readily available as part number S-226KEY. This attention to detail means you're never left stranded without the means to secure your boat properly. Whether you're protecting fishing gear, electronics, or personal items, this latch delivers the security and reliability you need for worry-free boating adventures.
