The pin for the swing door to the bow. The last owner took it off and cannot not find it. Says he is looking but I don't want to risk not having one , so I am looking for a replacement

I was told this was called a door and not a windshield by the glass manufacturer

At the very least should be able to have one machined for you to fit the hinge.

Can you take a pic of where the missing piece would go?

My boat also has the hinged glass "door" for access to the bow. It doesn't have a pin but a butterfly latch to attach the non hinged side to the fixed windshield when closed.

I would think something similar could be found at a hardware store.

If your has a latch with a loop that a locking pin slides through a machine shop with a metal lathe could fabricate one.

Interesting, that is the hinge pin that is missing.

The hinge is a part of the frame so isn't serviced independently.

That wouldn't be a machine shop item. You could probably find the right gauge wire or rod that would snugly fit.

Before doing that I would call skidim and ask them if they have replacements or any ideas.
