    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.
