Questions for work on my new Catalina 22

[HotPotato]

Hey Ho. sorry to barge in here... long time reader, first time typer.

I need help, just bought a Catalina 22 (1974), shes a beaut but i have a couple of minor pins and things i am sourcing... im stumped on the name of the shackle/pin thing that would secure my main tack grommet to the boom. ive attahed a picture... ive ordered a couple of items on Catalina direct but havent a clue what the thingy is called to secure this badboy. Anyone have any idea of what i need here?

Much obliged.

I'd use a SS bolt.

McMaster Carr sells 1/8” thick fender washers in 316. And even thicker.

I’m using and stocking only 316 fasteners because 304 rusts too easily in a chloride rich, salt water environment.

Fender washers used as backers may not be mission critical and 304 is probably fine to use, but I just plain hate weeping rust stains.

As always, I should have looked at McMaster before posting.

Launched today... thought you might be interested to know a Subaru Outback can launch a swing keel. Was very nervous.

"Mainsail tack pin for gooseneck " .
It has a slight bend in it to be installed/removed without tools.
Catalina direct has em or if you're crafty you can make your own from the proper sized bolt.

Best Regards
