The L & R Boat Latch Kit is a cutting-edge solution for launching and retrieving your fibreglass while looking like a pro!

• Made from durable marine grade 316 stainless steel that requires no strings, wires or electronics, it’s easy to install and doesn’t require any cutting or drilling into your beautiful boat. Even better, the latch kit has been designed by boating-expert engineers and has been tested in real marine conditions by serious boat users for over 15 years.
• The L & R Boat Latch makes launching and retrieving your boat so effortless that you’ll be the envy of every other boatie on the water.
• Even better, you can launch and retrieve your boat on your own, without setting foot in the water.
• That means you can get on the water more often, more easily and more safely every time.

The Boat Latch Kit includes:

• 1 x Latch with a lever to launch or retrieve made from marine grade (316) stainless steel with a tensile strength equal to 5.4 tonnes
• 1 x Fiberglass Snare for U-bolt replacement

• U Bolt Tensile Strength: 4.7 Tonnes
• Latch Tensile Strength: 5.4 Tonnes
• Washers 35mm & 50mm Centres
• Suit Boats: up to 6.5 metres

NOTE: For Boats 6.5m plus see Heavy Duty Model

Strength & Safety:

• With two options – the standard and heavy options – the L & R Boat Latch Kit is designed to be a robust system that can handle almost any boat.
• L & R have established a reputation in Australia for an extremely robust product despite the abuse that boaties throw at it. But very occasionally we get some wild man that manages to bend 10 mm stainless steel plates. We have now added a brace that increases strength by 220% (tested by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia).
• The L & R Boat Latch is not intended for road travel, only for use on the boat ramp. On the road your boat should be tensioned up with the winch and tie downs used to keep it in place. Always detach the winch and the safety chain to launch and re-attach before you leave the ramp at the water’s edge.

FAQ:

Can I take my boat out by myself with your system?

• Definitely! The L & R Boat Latch Kit is designed to let you get your boat (and yourself) onto the water solo and with ease. It’s often called the ‘marriage saver’ because there’s no need to drag your partner into the water to launch or retrieve. You can handle the entire process on your own – and look like a pro doing it.

Is it easy to install?

• Yes, it is quick and easy to install.  It requires no drilling into the boat, instead replaces your current bow eye on the front of your boat and the catch easily installs on your current trailer.
• Just refer to the Before you install guide and detailed instructions Installation Guide.
• We can also recommend approved installers Or you can work with your preferred trailer or boat team.
• Please note, the L & R Boat Latch must be installed according to the Installation Guide or your warranty will be void
