Two of my plastic pylon nuts have split. I went to the local Hobie dealer, to buy some new nuts. The young kid working there couldn't find any in stock. He did some cross-checking in the Hobie catalog, then said they are no longer using the all plastic nut. He then gave me some stainless nuts, with a locking nylon inset. I refused these for now. I'm suspecious of the "kid's" advise.
Are the all plastic nuts no longer available ??? I'd prefer the forgiving nature of the all nylon nut.
