Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Well today we noticed that part of the screw holding the rear strut to the rail was missing. In the pix, it is the long part. Checked McMaster Carr and they come up short. The one on the Bennington is 1 13/16" between the bottom of the heads. Similar to

but longer.

Sorry about the large image

Grainger?

I tried Grainger, they do not have the size like on the Bennington (barrel 5/16", thread 1/4x20) and also McMaster Carr (barrel too short). I sent a note to Bennington and our local dealer. Waiting for reply. Thanks for the link - it's the right length but other specs will not fit.

I might have one in the shop. I'll check after I get up, (just got home from work at 0500) and I'll let you know! If I do, I'll pop it in the mail for you with your Ez's...

Nope, I must of used both of them on the Premier, sorry... But, I do have your Ez's on the way!

Fastenal is a chain of stores servicing factories, etc. They sell nuts and bolts, and keep an incredible number of off the wall items in stock.

Thanks for the thought Bryan. Even tried looking at clevis pins. Fastenal has some stainless 5/16x1.75 that might work. Dropped into HD and picked up a stainless 18-8 2.5" with a shoulder that is long enough. Can cut shorter and use a nylon lock nut on it. Should work fine for $3.50

Bryan,
If Premier uses them, I might get them from the local Premier dealer - Lakeshore Sports. I'm on good terms with those folks - I'm fairly sure I've sold a few pontoons for them.
