on my Nacra's there's a little nylon plug that pushes into the hole in the casting and makes a tight fit on the pintle, would be worth finding out if there's some available for your boat or contacting Nacra to check out the size, they are cheap and awesome as you don't have any wear on your boat parts and just change the plugs every few years for zero slop
