    Do you hate your I-class deck patches?

    I came across this on YouTube while searching for something else. I know lots of guys complain about the latches on their I-class and getting fingers pinched. This might offer a solution.

    I did something similar as my wife got sick of breaking fingernails and my 11yr old struggles to open the big boxes as I have the tackle organizers hanging in there and it adds considerable weight. I went a little different route.

    I went to Hobby Lobby and bought 1" wide nylon strapping, cut to 8" in length, took them to a local seamstress and had a loop created. I then bought my stainless hardware and drilled a hole beside the latch handle. it works great and I would guess a bit less expensive. the boat is covered now but I hope to have a youtube vid up this spring.

    I guess I didn't answer the question and that would be yes and no. I didn't like the hidden latch until I got my straps installed. all is well in the iclass world now.

    Looks like something to trip over to me.

    I would call the people who posted the video (Marshall's Marine) and let them guide you
