Recommended: door catch

[Superg]

I was trying to figure out an inexpensive, elegant and functional solution to keeping my cabin doors open. The magnetic catches that came with the boat were weak and would let loose in rough seas. I didn't want a hook-and-eye method because then I would have to lean out of the cabin and reach around between the door and the entry well to fasten/unfasten. I found and tested out these strong magnetic catches and they do the trick! Won't come undone accidentally and you can close the doors in a pinch from inside the cabin when the rain starts.

Yep I think I'm going to check these out for my 405. It came with the old hook and eye this would be a nice upgrade.
