Where to buy swim deck pins?

[aaroncat]

Hey guys,

While on the lake recently, I lost one of the pins that secures the swim deck to the boat. I just got back from WestMarine and they didn't have anything similar. Has anyone needed to get a replacement for one of these before?

I use 2 of these. If you have a local Tractor Supply or similiar, they should have a large selection. I bet Lowes or Home Depot carry the same thing.

Haven't been able to find them in the big box hardware stores like Lowes/HD, however I've seen them in my little local hardware store that has the killer aisle with all the little slide out drawers full of stuff. Try one like Ace Hardware or Tru Value if you have anything like that in your area.

At the big box stores they are hidden in the pull out drawers. It's almost like a game to them, since most of the time it's mislabeled. Mc Master Carr carries them also. www.mcmaster.com

home depot. $3 or so each. stainless are a little harder to find so I've been buying the cheap zinc versions and replacing every year. keep several on the boat as a spare just incase. as patrick mentioned, it is like a scavenger hunt. if you have kids, make it a game
you can order the exact replacement as shown in the O.P., but they are not cheap and the others work just fine...

Again, Mcmaster-Carr. The ones from Home Depot didn't last a year. Mcmaster-carr, you can order stainless. Mine have been great

Try Tacoma Screw (a parts company).

The ones at our local HD seem to be the one piece adjustable pin



I had to go to a place called "Princess Auto" to get the bigger hitch pin

Sounds like a place Dusty would shop at.
