Cherri, I had a spare pin. If I can find it you can have it.
I am convinced the pin virbrates out while trailering. I trailer about 3 - 4k miles every year. The hole for the pin on my boat is probably larger than normal due to wear. I keep the pin in useing a piece of sail repair tape on both sides.
