Lazarette hatch lock

Anyone ever replace the lock mechanism on the hatch. After almost 40 years, could use replacement. Finding direct replacement fit seems daunting.

There have been a number of different lazarette hatches (lids) and thus different locks. I'm guessing you have the earlier style hatch with a molded fiberglass lid and that is a sort of rectangle with one diagonal side. Do you have an existing latch you can post a photo of? If so, I bet there is a good chance someone here might know of something like it, and/or a source.

Right, of course sorry. Looks like this.

Don't quote me but I think I bought the parts at West Marine.

That looks like it might be a Perko. There are different "underside" variations with the tongue that swings around to do the latching, so you might want to take a look on this page in their catalog and compare to what you have:
