ABSTRACT:
A pontoon boat gate latch assembly includes a bolt assembly and a bolt mounting assembly. The bolt mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a pontoon boat gate or frame rail so that the bolt assembly can be used to lock the gate in a closed position by inserting a bolt included in the bolt subassembly through a gate rail opening defined in the gate and a frame rail opening defined in the boat frame. The latch assembly also includes gate and frame sleeves that are adapted to be inserted into the gate and frame rail openings to eliminate rattling. The latch assembly further includes an alignment stop that is adapted to be connected to the pontoon boat adjacent to the bolt mounting assembly and to cause the gate to stop at a position that aligns the bolt and the frame and gate rail openings.
