clevis pins

Does anyone know what size clevis pins that a Santana 20 requires on the forestay?

You're best to measure the fitting - no guarantee it's original.

I forgot to measure it when I pulled the boat out of the water this fall. The boat is in storage about two hours away from where i live and was hoping I could order some new ones without having to drive back to the boat.

Someone might post it if they know, and hopefully it is original. Good luck.

I sold my Santana 20 last year, but I'm 90% sure the pins are 1/4" dia. The wire is 1/8". The pin length is about 3/4".

He might need length as well.

I have another question to go along with my first. For the measurements that okawbow mentioned the price for a package of 2 is about $5.00. Is that correct? That seems kinda high even for marine hardware.

Doesn't sound too high. I look at any day I can get out of the marine store for under $10 a great day.

Make sure they are the right length though.

I will make sure on the length.

If your boat is two hours away, my best guess (based upon much personal experience) is that you will be down to the boat numerous times between now and launching. Take your digital camera, take your calipers, and get your measurements. Most decent marinas have all of that stuff, or you can get it at one of the Marine box stores after your first trip to your boat.
