[quote=dhennessy]Here is what I did. I thought about replacing all the shackles with ones that have holes in the flat part of the shackle pin so they could be safety wired. Then I thought I could save $$ by using the shackles from the boat and drill a hole in the flat part of the shackle pin. I ended taking all the shackles off my cat that I do not regularly open, used a metal punch to dimple the center of the flat part of the shackle pin, and drilled them with a small drill bit. Then I removed any burrs around the hole, put them back on the boat and used some stainless steel rigging wire to safety wire them. This did not take much time and now I do not have to worry about any shackles coming loose.
Good luck,
Dan
