Re: replacement window latch
Yardpro,
Most of the window latches for Bertram's were made by Perko, some of the early boats had Wilcox-Chritton( spelling) window hardware. Depends on the purchasing agent that was working at that time and the year of the boat.

Re: replacement window latch
I recently looked all over for replacements for the latches on my 28. Mine are Perko, and Perko does not make that style anymore, and I could not find anything the same size and shape. The old ones were froze solid and covered in green corrosion, so I soaked them in a mix of vinegar and water overnight and they came out spotless and freed up! Some of the chrome is gone, but they look and work just fine.
