My Old Town Predator PDL: PDL Shear Pin Replacement 

The shear pin is designed to be the weakest link in order to sacrifice itself to protect the gears of the unit. Those rods from home depot are 1018 cold roll. Much stronger than the 304 stainless that came with the unit.

It was fun watching you cut with a hacksaw.....I would have preferred you used stainless steel....that would have been fun....so in five years have you ever damaged or lost a prop?... wondering b, because ca lot of guys carry a spare...do you think that necessary?.... just got my bigwater pdl...doing setup.

Where did you purchase shear pin? What size is it?
