ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism for a two piece cowling for a marine engine includes a latch that is pivotally mounted on the lower cowling piece and includes a handle disposed within a recess on the exterior of the lower cowling so that when the latch is in its locked position, the handle is contained by the recess and is flush with the cowling so as not to detract from the styling of the cowling and the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle is disposed parallel to forces acting on the lower unit of the engine so as to resist forces tending to move the handle to its release position.
