Boat Storage Compartment Handle (and through post)

thingiverse

A buddy dropped off a busted boat compartment handle and asked if I could create a model and 3D print a replacement one for him. Since I'm not sure what kind of boat he's got, I figured there might be several makes that use this handle. Maybe someone out there can use this design to print some replacement handles for themselves or their friends. On top of the handle, I also noticed that the piece going through the hatch to the latch underneath - which I call the post - looks like it's starting to degrade too. So, I modeled that part as well. I printed both parts, put on an O-ring, and installed them into the hatch and they work fantastic! I'll print him a few extras for the next time he needs them.
