So my 2300 has a deck hatch with a broken latch. (See pics). The broken latch is the spring type shown in the picture and it’s the center ‘door’ in the picture.

Anyone know if this may have been factory? Or, better yet! What’s the best type of latch to replace this tiny perko latch!

that door slamming down in this rough fall weather is driving me nuts!!

Crud. Sorry - I goofed the whole picture process. So, I just took these off Google images. The ‘seat/hatch’ in question is the fwd center hinged seat. Directly aft of the anchor locker.
 
I had the same problem with mine. The metal in the latch fatigues over time. I replaced the part and got it from West’s Marine. I bought a couple of extras and kept on the boat in case it happened again.
