ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism for a cowl of an outboard motor provides a handle and retaining mechanism for the handle which define a detent position when the handle is in a latching or closed position. A protrusion of the handle rotates in a plane which places it between a roller and a metallic ball when the handle is in a latching position. The metallic ball is shaped to be received in a groove formed in the protrusion in order to define the detent position when the handle is in its latched position.
