During mast raising yesterday, we somehow bent the lower turnbuckle housing of the rear shroud. The piece that attaches to the chain plate. We also bent the joining rod.
Could you tell me how to find a replacement?
Thanks so much, john

Those are Navtec rigging parts, all are 3/8" thread

Bottom EYE part # D541-1212

Threaded Stud # D320-S12

Anyone who sells Navtec rigging should have it. Goodluck!

Hi Bill,
Do you have the P/N for the turnbuckle/screw that attaches to the chainplate? In the quote that I got they noted that the EYE-end did not include the turnbuckle.
Thanks, John

There are only 3 parts to the navtech turnbuckle... the eye end is the part that attaches to the chainplate (it can get bent), the other parts are the threaded screw (can get bent too) and the part that is swaged onto the shroud (never gets bent)

Look at this page here http://pdf.nauticexpo.com/pdf/navtec/navtec-general-catalog/21929-29204-_42.html - http://pdf.nauticexpo.com/pdf/navtec/navtec-general-catalog/21929-29204-_42.html

and note the eye end and turnbuckle screw, this is what you have.

The threaded stud part number listed above is the turnbuckle screw. I have ordered these part numbers before and rec'd the correct parts, unless they have changed part numbers.

Thanks Bill, you're right.
I had the boat in front of me this afternoon and it was clear as you describe. Thank you, john
