Source for Norman Pin

Postby wgibbous » Sat Jan 28, 2023 7:41 pm

What is a source for a Norman pin?

I found one source online that sells a Norman Pin had was rounded like the original at this URL:

http://www.marinepartdepot.com/magrstst316b.html

ASIDE: I am restoring a 1967 16-footer. I need a new Norman Pin.

The norman pin in the photo looks pretty good. Why do you want to replace it? Given the cost of a new non-OEM pin I would prefer to refurbish the original.

There have been many complaints from customers of that website.

For OEM parts I always go to either

[To both respondents] Thank you.

The original Norman pin was lost [so it cannot be refurbished and reused].

I'll contact the two vendors mentioned above, NAUSET MARINE and THE BOAT HOUSE (formerly TWIN CITIES MARINE).
