My anchor locker has two hinges. The axle in one of them (lower one in picture) fell out. Anyone know where I can get a new one? How about info on the size, type, so I can order a new one? Not the worst problem to have, though an odd one.

You will need to improvise a new pin, or get a new hinge. Probably easier to get a new hinge. The pin would need to be stainless steel. Take off the old hinge and see if there is a brand or marking and measure the length and width. Im sure there is a suitable substitute. Hinges are pretty standard. Amazon and ebay have tons of stuff like that. Since its a Bene its probably a metric size.
Call or email Ward Richardson at Beneteau in SC and request a new hinge. Have the model, year, hinge measurements, screw locations, & photo available. He can hopefully provide a match or close substitute & part number, then you can order & pay for it through your closest dealer. The part will be shipped to you. It appears to be a common hinge on Beneteau anchor lockers; mine appears to be same. I doubt that your local hardware store will have quality hinges in 316 SS.
