Gooseneck assembly and mast pin

Post by Creel »

Next time I'll write out a list to triple check.

There have been several parts missing that I was what was in the pictures were on the boat. (not to mention a 3/8" dent in exterior of hull )

Oh well..things I have to replace

1) Does anyone have a detail of the gooseneck for the boom/mast assembly ?

2) I also need a detail of mast pin?

Greetings!

The gooseneck is found here - http://www.dwyermast.com/items.asp?cat1 ... Goosenecks. From Dwyer, it is the 418. Just got one for Christmas for my boat.

The pin is simply a piece of 5/8" steel about 9" long or longer. I cut three out of a rod from Home Depot and keep one on the boat, one in the car and one in my launching bag. I got to the shore once and didn't have one - bummer - hence the three... it ain't happenen' again!

Best to you.

I have extras everywhere also, great tip.
I had to use a 5/8' drill bit once, it worked, but not well.
I used CRSS, cause I had it avail. My original pin fell in the builge and rusted two years ago. :roll:

Brian uses a roller axel/pin from a trailer roller.
I have been known to use a 3/8x6" ratchet extension.
