On my Eclipse I had 2 locking pins for the mast hinge.  They had a tab at the end that would lock the pin in place.  I wonder if anyone has found a source for replacement pins?  I would like to use them on my Horizon.  Thanks Sail On,  AL

Perfect!  That's the one I am looking for.  Figures Amazon!  Thanks Doc  Sail On,  AL

Al, be aware I bought some like that from Amazon for the 19s bimini and started to corrode after 2 years. All stainless steel is not equal.

Good day, Al,

These are 17-7 PH SS. Good luck corroding these little puppies.

Other sizes are available from this source, of course. Not cheap, but they are high quality.

Keep the keel side down!
