New Cowl Mount Idea

[David Santistevan]

I am working on a new cowl mount system
for my thunderboats. These are pressure plates where the ball will snap into the holes on the other plate. One mounted to the cowl, the other mounted to the boat. If this works it should provide a positive lock while still preventing a lot of damage to the boat and cowl from tearing the mounts if hit. Fun experiment!

Here is the prototype, it seems to check out!

Is it magnetic?

He says male snaps into female opening. Doesn't sound magnetic. Will it keep cowl on in rough water? We hopefully will have all the answers soon.
