ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly for releasably securing a cowling of a marine propulsion engine comprising a front latch mechanism which is interconnected with at least one rear latch mechanism by a wire cable having a slack adjuster along its length.

The slack adjuster is simple and easily adjustable to remove slack along the entire cable.
