swim platform getting loose

[Bcoutsfly]

Oh! And as you can see they fit the hole perfectly. Not near as much play anymore.

Cool. I'd be interested to see what everyone is replacing their bolts with. One constraint is that I have to take the platform on/off everytime I use the boat, so any replacement solution has to be pretty easy to take on off. With the stock pins I've had them bend and fall out before (and they also allow lots of play), but otherwise they seem to do the trick.

Where can you find the stock replacement pins (other than the dealer)? I think they are called Swivel Lock Pins and I cannot track them down. And YES - they are overpriced at the dealer. They do a good job but got one that is bending and worn and it's a matter of time They gotta be had a wholesale somewhere?? But where?

Took the brackets off my swim platform, welded up the holes, installed everything on the boat and drilled 5/16 holes through brackets & hangers so everything lined up. No more rattle. Used these pins.
