If the hole has enlarged you can shim it with a rivet cup (Murray's carries them) or drill a new hole.
If you got an old boat, then you need a parts list. Go to your nearest Hobie Dealer and ask for the Hobie catalog. I think your nearest dealers would be Iowa or White Bear. The catalog is well worth having. Not only can you look at the various parts that are listed, but you can dream about owning the new boats in the pictures. Better yet, you can stare at the cute gals in the pictures. But don't get too excited by those gals. Some of those pictures are so old, those gals are probably now in the nursing home!

Save the gas and download all the catalogs and parts lists here.

But its fun to see the parts in person! And, you can look at all the consignment boats that are for sail, oops, for sale in the back lot. Even a few NEW boats!
