Post subject: | Hobie Bravo Mast Hinge/Gate Assembly Failure |
The central hinge point rivet on my Bravo (original design) mast hinge/gate assembly failed while underway last week. Luckily the "furler strap" was in place and actually kept the mast upright while I limped back to the dock. I would like to replace the gate assembly. The part number on the Bravo parts guide says: Hinge/GateAssy Original Style 90500021 However, when I search online for that part number, all the vendors that carry it have a picture of the new gate design. And the parts guide is pretty explicit about the new not being compatible with the old. Can I get a replacement the gate assembly for the original design? If so, what is the part number and where can I buy it? If not, what are my options? |

That is the correct number for the old gate assembly. It has the bar and the hinge. The image is not showing the hinge. 90500021 MAST KEEPER GATE ASSY |

OK. Thanks. I'm still a little confused though because the one I have has two hinge points and two straight bars. (I wish I could figure out how to upload a picture here.) We bought our boat in May of 2012. Maybe I actually have the new design? What is the part number for the new part? |

Quote: Bravo (original design) mast hinge/gate assembly The solid bar is the original. Quote: We bought our boat in May of 2012. Maybe I actually have the new design? Yes! The one with a hinge in the bar is the newer one. The one you need is: 90500022 MAST KEEPER HINGED GATE ASSY |

Center hinge rivet sheared off on my Bravo (2011 version) some years back. Used a clevis pin and ring ding as a replacement. Works fine. (If the hinge rivet went on you, this may be in store for you: I also had the screw that connects the vertical support tube to the A-Frame shear off another time -- that was more dramatic & I needed to lash the mast to the [broken] A-Frame behind an island, then hobble back to the beach.) |
