Hatch nut stripped – looking for recommendations?

[Four Suns]

Soooo.... Did that collar work or did you replace the whole arm?

These things are cheap-o garbage... surely there is a better quality arm out there.

I was on a grand banks yesterday, now those have nice hatches. I didn't see a name on them, but I want some.

Bomar made some really stout stuff years ago. Don't know if they still do.

I just got off the phone with Taylor customer service (518-773-0636) and they tell me with the knob that looks like impeller on the end (called a Psychoknob) removed I can get the positive lock and threaded collar out with out drilling out the rivet. Later today I’ll go to the boat and try this.

The threaded collar is less then $3. They are sending me one via the mail and they did not even take my credit card information. The customer service rep said they include a little envelope to send them payment.

Wow, less then $3! I’m happy about this and hope it works as they say.

Thank you everyone!

I think you lucked out.
I just ordered some for my boat.
Now they charge a $25.00 shipping / handling fee on top of the cost.
