Re: [Cal_Boats] turnbuckle -- chris

I have several. 5 1/2 inch body length. 3/8 threads. The new rigging came with SS turnbuckles. Nothing wrong with the bronze ones that I know of. I also have some larger ones.

I also have some larger ones. Hi, Allen; Check the pin diameter--I think it matches the thread diameter, and I need the 3/8 pins. I'll measure tonight but the 5-1/2 " body length sounds about right. What's a good price? Hamilton Marine had new ones for about $42 before shipping but they were discontinued, and other sources seem to be a bit pricier. West Marine lists one but I can't summon up detail from their catalog web page. Pick a fair price. I suppose you could add a little extra for patina....
