OJ, dont feel too bad. Upon returning from a day of sailing and cleaning the boat, I noticed the spring loaded pin on the pelican hook on my lifeline was MIA. Luckily my WM ordered a repair kit, $11.99, which includes 2 pins. It is supposed to be here today from San Diego. Replacing pelican hooks are pricey! Good luck with yours. Hope you were successful.

Thanks Steve. This is the first time I've had to work on a boat away from where I live and my tool cache. I'm used to walking 25' back and forth from boat to house to fetch an item. I could always get an hour or two of work in each evening. Between bottom paint cans coming open in shipping, receiving a defective power tool and researching/ordering missing or worn parts - this is the latest I've ever launched. I have a lot of respect for those who travel a couple-three hours (or more) to get to their boats whether for maintenance or sailing.

OJ, Well WM was true to their nature. My part was supposed to come in last Tuesday. Come to find out, they never ordered it even though I was in the store while the order was put in!
Anyway, any luck with your part? If not you might put in a request in the General forum for ideas. Good luck.

I replaced my pelican hook a couple of years ago from WM -- it was in stock! You might want to call some other local stores
