Could someone email me a picture of the latch that is on the sliding cuddy door on a 1996 Z235 Talari? Mine is missing and I would like to try to find a replacement. Also, any suggestions on where to buy one?

I don't have a picture, and I couldn't find one in the gallery, but in the Mariah parts list, there are links to the manufacturers for the latches

Have a look in this thread on where to buy:

Send a private message to fellow member 'Chicagoweb' and see if he will take a pic and send it to you since he has the same boat.

Hi 300sflyer, Great picture!

Could I ask you a favor for a few more pictures?

If you could, I would like (1) a pic of the other side of the latch and (2) a pic from the inside looking out with the latch in the closed/locked position but with the door open so I can see the latching arm, I think it's a hooked piece but I want to confirm it. Lastly, (3) could I get a pic of the part mounted to the dash/deck that the the latch mates to?

Thanks,
WetWilly

Great board, Thank you all for your help so far. Greatly appreciated.

More pics.

The first is from behind in the locked position. My hand is holding the spring loaded cylinder "pushed in" so it would resemble what it would look like looked. Not locked, it would simply be flush on the inside, and the pin would be turned 90 degrees.

The second is the lock pin receptacle, on the door frame itself. If you look at the shape, you can see how rotating the pin holds the door closed.

Hope that helps!

Mike -

Mine looks the same... I have the assembly but my keys never worked. So basically I have never used it.

If someone finds a replacement assembly I would be interested in purchase one to!

Just a FYI those links are not accurate for the z235 latches...

Do you have problems with the (2) sliders that hold the cuddy door sticking? I have been using a marine grade (wd40) type silicone spray to grease the door for the past couple of years but I am looking for a better solution.
