Looking through my Albums, I found this a pic of the latch covering on the C250 at the Miami Boat Show.
I was pretty sure I had ordered one before the show, but the new latch never arrived, I must have screwed up the order somehow.

But as luck has it and after reading David's post about Sugru, I purchased a couple of packs and used one to coat the sides of the Ladder Latch. Here are some pics.

The plastic dipped covering on our 8 year old ladder latch was looking really grimey. Tried cleaning it with all sorts of chemicals, but nothing seemed to make a decent diffrerence.

So I thought I would replace it with Sugru.</center>

Did you only apply it to the one side of the latch? The last picture doesn't seem like it would be the final product, did you drop a picture?

Oh, duh, helps if I turn "show text" back on...
