Hi Harvey,

I can't give you an expact P/N since it's been quite awhile since I
bought and installed the hasps.

Hasps and pad locks on sail lockers (and companionways) are a necessity
if you are leaving the boat in a marina, or parked on a trailer
somewhere.

I bought the smallest ones I could find - as well as three identically
keyed Abus brass locks.  That simplifies life - only one key needed to
open all three locks.

>From looking at my WEST catalog (1999 Edition - page 196) I think what I
have is "L" - "Stainless Hasps", and of the three shown, mine is probably
the smallest one - Model No. 279026.

When I installed them, I first put 1" closed cell foam seals on the insde
of the sail locker lid, so that when the lid is closed, the foam strips
seal the edge of the sail locker.  Keeps out water as well as little
crawly things looking for dark living places.

Then I put the eye in place on the lid - drilling holes and using flat
headed S/S bolts and elastic stop nuts on the inside.  Then I located the
folding part of the hasp on the inboard side of the cockpit, so that when
the hasp was open that part would hang down and be out of the way.  I
located my holes so that it needed a slight force fit to get the hasp in
place over the "U".  That way, when sailing I have the lockers closed -
no locks in place -and they won't open inadvertantly.  However, exert a
bit of force and they are open and the contents of the sail locker become
instantly accessible.
