Rudder cam screw and sleeve? Pictured here

I'm rebuilding the hobie and both screws are missing along with the sleeves. Not sure where to get this locally so figured I'd check online.

Here is one place to look. http://www.mariner-sails.com/assembly.asp?id=23179 Clicking on "Pin-rudder castings" will give you more options and a link for the sister screws.

Go to a machinist and see how much they charge to make a set. I'll bet it's a lot more than $17.

It's not just two screws.

Take a closer look at them (these are the ones for the 17/18, the 16/14 are similar)

I could ask him to hand build me a KIA as well...doesn't mean the $100,000 KIA he turns out would be worth it either. Besides I REALLY doubt a machinist is turning each one of these. More likely they have a computer controlled machine to do it. Probably in China. I expected to pay $8 because it's a "boat part" but $17 is high! It's a screw and an threaded tube. I'll have to see what I can come up with for an alternative.

They work better than the screw-in type. If you keep your cams lubricated, you don't need to touch them for many, many years... if ever.

Here are the 14/16 pins I did find them for $15. Does anyone have a picture of the original pins?
The original pins were hollow which leads me to believe there isn't a tremendous amount of stress put on them. I wish I had an original so I could see the wall thickness. My first thought was to flare some Stainless steel brake line in there it's cheap and readily available. Another thought would be rather then special make a flared end sister screw, just tap a piece of SS rod and put two screws into it. I have some buddies in the bolt business up in Houston I'll have to give them a shout so I can browse through some inventory.

Just think of tapping something like this.
and putting two $.50 SS screws into it.

Go for it,

A lot of people build their own boat from scratch, I'm sure thats a royal pain but inventing a few new parts your self,I think its cool.

I saw some where that the clew plate for a jib is about 15 bucks!!!! So I cut up a chopping board from the kitchen for free, if it doesn't work well I'll try something else.

It's not just a hobie thing, laser also charge what seems to me to be ridiculous prices for parts, I for one will be making everything I can.

good luck

I have just run into the same issue. I don't see that there is a massive amount of load. I'm thinking some 1/4 od pipe and flare the ends. If it doesn't seem stiff enough I will find a rod to fit in the tube and epoxy it in.

What could possibly go wrong ???
