The Quintrex Windscreen Lock Handle is a precision-crafted accessory designed to secure and operate boat windscreens smoothly and reliably. Engineered specifically for Quintrex, Stacer, Savage, and other Telwater-built craft, this lock handle ensures a firm, vibration-resistant seal between windscreen panels, preventing rattling, leaks, and unwanted movement during navigation or over rough water.
Manufactured from robust anodized aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish, the Quintrex Windscreen Lock Handle is built to endure harsh marine conditions including sun exposure, salt spray, and constant vibration. Its ergonomic lever is shaped for comfortable grip and easy fastening, requiring only a simple quarter-turn to engage or release. The internal cam mechanism provides consistent clamping pressure, ensuring the windscreen stays securely in position without undue wear on seals or windows.
Installation is straightforward and can be completed with common marine tools. The handle mounts to standard windscreen lock boss holes and secures with included stainless steel screws and backing nuts. With options for left- or right-hand use, it suits a range of dash layouts and user preferences. Once installed, operating the windscreen is intuitive: simply flip the lever to lock the panels shut or pivot it to permit opening. This ensures safe access to bow or cockpit areas while underway.
Functionality extends beyond locking; the Quintrex Windscreen Lock Handle also assists in maintaining water-tight integrity. The cam action helps press the windscreen seal snugly against the frame, preventing water ingress into the cockpit. This added seal ensures better protection in wet conditions, increasing comfort and protecting onboard electronics and upholstery. The handle’s low profile and sleek design complement modern windscreen aesthetics, blending seamlessly with the boat’s interior.
Maintenance is minimal. The anodized finish is easy to clean and resists scratching, while the internal mechanism remains dependable over time. Should replacement parts like cams, springs, or screws become necessary, they are available individually, allowing for quick field service without full-isolation of the handle. Its durable components and simple design also mean fewer malfunctions over the handle’s lifespan.
For boat owners updating aging hardware or upgrading new windscreen installations, the Quintrex Windscreen Lock Handle offers a reliable balancing of ease-of-use, durability, and functional design. It enhances onboard comfort and safety by providing secure windscreen operation and a better seal against spray and weather.
In summary, the Quintrex Windscreen Lock Handle is an essential accessory for any compatible boat, combining solid construction, smooth leverage, and effective sealing. Whether navigating coastal waters, cruising estuaries, or planning overnight trips, this handle brings dependable performance and peace of mind.
