Right on Dennis.
he purpose is two-fold, as they also prevent the
deck flexing and a compromised seal (due to
unwanted movement). With the upward arc of the
deck structure, including cabin trunk, it is
impossible to flex down. So pins are an elegant solution.

The pins in Randy's chainplates are quite
loose. I could almost remove them by hand. I
told him when he reassembled them to center the
pins in the chainplate and make a detent on
either side with a metal chisel to prevent movement.
While I agree thier purpose is probably to hold
the bedding plate down, the pins seem redundant
if the plates are screwed to the deck. Â
Is this a Rob Ball question?

Yes, you tap them out (and back in) with a nail countersink.

Yes, that pin is to hold down the plate covering the bedding compound.
