Might be something kind of silly to report on, but I had a real hard time both finding and selecting the right marine boat latches for the slide out shelves that hold my Alpicool CF35 refrigerator on Northern Comfort.
The problem I was faced with is that under some good heavy winds and heeled over, the fridge sliding drawer would slide out. The slider rails have a certain resistance to opening but once the whole fridge even flew right off the sliding drawer under some good beating winds/waves.

I found these great little latches on Amazon and they are fitted on the sliding drawer. They work by restricting the sliding drawer from opening up with the latch closed. My food is now stayed away properly under sail and I am no longer tying ropes across it to stop the fridge from sliding off.
Problem solved!
