I am not sure exactly what lock you have, but I am guessing it is like the cam lock on one of my 94 Ski Nautique dash boxes. If all you need is a replacement lock search cam lock on Google and you can easily match the lock you need. I bought a regular key one that came with a couple of different latch arms. I also replaced the cylinder key style cam lock on my Stack On security safe. Easy install and relatively cheap. You should be sure to keep the current latch bar as it may need to be used, didn't have to do that on my boat. It was not a proprietary design. Just a stock cam lock and latch bar.

Something like this?

this is what the gull wing seat has, but not the glove box...

... and darn, that 1999 Air glove box is different than mine too...

mine latch is a rectangle about 3/4"x3". To open, push the lock cylinder head, the 3" arm pops up, lift to open glovebox. I'll get a pic when I uncover the boat later today.,,

thanks,

When all else fails, you could probably use one of these and some velcro  to hold the cover down Wink

no need for the brick... it still latches, just doesn't lock... Not a huge problem, but nice to have lockable storage at some stops...

That latch looks a lot like the latches on the RV I used to own.  So maybe try looking for RV parts

You would have to check the dimensions, but maybe this would be a replacement? Looks like it would need the latch arm swapped?

Generally it is possible to replace the lock cylinder itself. I don't have a latch like that to look at. The inner key cylinder probably broke free at the point it connects to the latch. Depending on how it was made it might be easy to replace. My safe lock had a formed connection (rather than a nut on the end) and it took a little creativity to combine a new cylinder with the original latch arm. You might consider removing the latch and taking it to a good locksmith. If the latch works I would be surprised if a repair is not possible. Good luck!

There is a small image of the latch listed above in the catalog which gives you are better idea of how the latch arm looks page 73 image C2. If the latch arm is held on by a nut it is easy to replace the inside key cylinder.

Security Cabinet company wouldn't help, so I got to play with locks like this more than I expected :)

Show a photo of the latch arm! Nautique Parts does sell a model like this. You might need to extend the latch arm?
