    Default Where to buy a swim platform pin? *pic*

    One of the pins on my swim platform broke so now I need to order a new one.

    I don't have any Moomba dealers nearby so I will order some online.

    Where would I find these?

    I did a bit of reaeach and it seems people prefer the clevis pin instead.

    Does it look like this?

    You can find many of those type items at a hardware store.

    Try McMaster-Carr, they have a big slection of various pins.

    Deafgoose i've never seen anyone use a clevis to secure the platform. Most use a simple pin/clip method.

    deaf - Ultimate Wake Watersports keeps inventory of these pins in its service shop. I stopped in today to chat and asked specifically about availability. It's a Moonba Supra dealer in the suburb of Volo north of Chicago. Store was open but shop was not, so I don't have a price for you. Give a call during the week and see what it would cost to buy and ship to you. - Deerfield

    Home improvement store will have a pin similar to the pin that holds the guidepoles on your trailer. Just need a 1/4in X 2. I switched to those because I don't trust the stock pins.

    I picked up two quick pins to replace the swivel lock pins but I am not sure how long they will last. They are made of grade 5 steel with a clear zinc plated finish.

    I also got some adjustable clevis pins in case the quick pins don't fit.

    I really wish these were stainless. The zinc coating will wear off and it will rust over time. Good thing they are only $1.30 each locally!

    Zinc Plating
    Many steel fasteners are electro-plated with zinc for better corrosion resistance. Fasteners that have been zinc plated have a shiny silver or golden appearance referred to as clear or yellow zinc respectively. They are fairly corrosion resistant but will rust if the coating is destroyed or if exposed to a marine environment.

    From an earlier post about platform rattle. Search can be your friend.

    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.
