[quote=thaniel]Thanks jonathan162 for the tips and info.
Yes seems there are a bunch of things people call Cotter pins. The manual called it a cotter KEY not a pin and what the boat had when I got it was a hairpin clip and they were rusty so I switched to a stainless version. Perhaps the stainless didn't grip as well?
On my lunch break I made a new pintle out of some aluminum rod and installed it using the split cotter pin to retain it in place. Also changed the other side to a split cotter pin as well. Hopefully no more rudders falling off :-)[/quote]
