You are mistaken, that is not its purpose.  It simply keeps the liner from rotating when steering back and forth.  Any ol’ pin, rivet, screw, whatever, will do.

Ok – Thanks –

So the small end of the pin fits into the recessed hole opposite the tiny ‘tit’ hole?

The drawing led me to a different conclusion, (and the fact that I never even laid eyes on the dang thing, for all I know it was never even there…).

Thanks !

Best Regards,

Amazing what happens when you do the chores. In the kitchen this morning, which is where I did a little de-greasing of parts the other day, when I needed to run the garbage disposal (for the 4th or 5th time since I lost this pin). Heard a little clanking and found the pin! Note: I had already checked a few times, but I guess it was hiding and since it is aluminum my magnet did not pick it up.

So, here it is. I have already cleaned it up a bit and taken the roughest edges off of it, so it should be good. I did order one that SeaKaye found for me on Ebay, so I’ll probably wait for that one and keep this one as my spare. Worried that if my edges are still too rough I might mess up the piece that this holds in place.

Pics are junk, sorry. I don’t know how to delete and start over. No biggie.

Just an update.

Thanks to all

Best Regards,
