Cowl magnet upgrade?

[TREMOR 25]

Anybody come up with a better method of holding down the cowl. The magnet method is just not working for me. Water was pretty rough this weekend and I had the cowl come off a couple of times. Fortunantly I was running in shallow water and was able go retrieve it fairly easy. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Put foam on the lid so it doesn't sink.

That wont stop the lid from flying off. Looking for some sort of camlock type of latch upgrade. Not interested in taping the hatch every time.

Try to find this! It came with my boat but it's what you are looking for. Maybe someone can suggest where to get it from.

Fine, but eventually it WILL pop off, or it will get knocked off by somebody hitting you, or it will blow off your work table into the water. The foam is to save your life by not swimming after it.

Another latching method is to make it easier to prep.

FWIW, I use tape or put magnets on BOTH sides (lid and deck).

try a black jack rudder it has the pick up on both sides and you get a better water flow
