You're welcome, Gene.

I tried one source for the part, no good, one more to go. I'll get back to you. I looked at West Marine's offerings, didn't see anything close. Worst case scenario, the Wooden Boat Foundation, here in Port Townsend, has a foundry which could use mine to fashion a duplicate. It is likely to be a "pricey" way to go, and could take some time, but a possibility.

How crucial is this for you? Is it keeping you from getting out on the water? IOW, how soon do you need it?

A good welder could quickly fabricate one and it would be way cheaper than a bronze casting.

Speedy, I must agree. Gene, my second source bombed out. A replacement in stainless steel would be quicker, and less expensive. Get crackin' and get sailin'...
