2011 240 sundeck Head door magnetic latch

[H2Ahh]

Hello there. I have the OEM latch with the spring loaded recessed bolt but the magnet in the door frame is missing. Anyone familiar? Can someone take a picture of the door frame with the magnet piece installed so I know exactly what I’m looking for? Looking for just the magnet piece that screws into the door frame. Anyone have any idea where to source one? I tried ALL the national parts houses but it is a discontinued part. Looking to buy one. Used is fine. Thanks for any guidance. Kevin

Contact Southco directly - maybe they can help.

I meant I tried them. Not able to help… Discontinued part so I called FP Marine. They took my info. and said they get back to me. I need a picture to at least get an idea of what it looks and dimensions would really help. There was nothing in the hole in the door frame where the magnet mounts. Most people probably just tossed the latch and are using the type with a striker. Magnetic latch seems like a strange design…The striker design latches are readily available. I want to remain oem. Thanks

Shoot. I thought Southco could at least give you some dimensional drawings that might show the magnet. Then you could try a place like K&J Magnetics

Thanks lazy Dave. I’ll keep rooting around!

Does anyone have this system that they could take a picture for me? I’d like to see the door frame and what the magnet looks like, and would really appreciate measuring between the mounting screws
