Aeromarine cowl locks are the best bet. Ive seen it all and unless you have extra cowls its the way to go......Mike Ps i might have a used but good fin for you......Mike

You could also use those rare earth magnets, i think Don Ferrette had the website that you can order them from

I too use them on the my sport 20 but the cowl has a lip that hooks on over the front of the boat so they work fine.

The PT ss45 does not have this lip and the cowl would be more prone to slide off the magnets and and blow off.

I have been considering my options as well and unless a hooking mechanism was used at the front of the cowl I do not think the magnets would hold.

A simple aluminum hooking device and a slit to match it placed in the nose of the boat would be easy to do.

Then I think the magnets would be fine.

I think the aeromarine hold downs do not look the best and seem to be a bit sloppy in my opinion,Maybe it is how they were installed.

They came on this boat and i may change them out for something different.

Mike how bout them pictures you slacker...

Sorry SLACKER here i have not forgot you just had to get the boat wet this last weekend to get the grimlins out

The grim cowl locks are the best setup. You dont want the cowl comming off in a race.
