I have been using a bungee cord to keep my console door open when I have my boat under cover/on trailer, and when at the sand bar. All other times I keep the door closed. Anybody have a good idea for a permanent latch or snap to keep the door in the open position. Show me pictures of what you got?

Mine has a snap with a strap you can wrap around the ttop leg and snap back on itself. I may can grap a photo this weekend.

One of my upcoming projects is to install a magnet catch like on the newer boats. Yes it will eventually rust and they're pricey, but if it works for a few years I'll be happy. Check out about 3:58 of this video. I held up the magnets one day and may mount mine a little differently but we'll see...the project list is still pretty long

I have a strap which wraps around the T-Top post and uses a buckle clip to keep the door open. Works well, very inexpensive, nothin outside when the door is closed and won't rust out.

Thanks for the feedback. I like the strap idea, not the magnet idea so much. Magnets and salt water don't mix. I would love to see a picture of the strap on the door?

I'm sorry I didn't get down to the boat last weekend. I will try to snap a photo this weekend.

That strap is nice and simple. Definitely need to put one like that on my 236 to keep it from swinging. Rag’s
