I have tried several padlocks of various sizes and styles but none have fitted neatly and just hung down from the shackle. The one I am currently using sticks out almost horizontally and I have managed to tear my sallopettes on it as I have walked around the binnacle.
Does anybody have any recommendations on type/style/size padlock to use?
Thanks

I use RS padlocks with along shank .This allows it to lay against the fibreglass without getting in the way .

A standard Plastimo (think they are 10mm) fits perfectly.
