2020 R23 bow thruster drive pin?

[JeffandCarol]

Well I think the drive pin for my 2020 R23 bow thruster sheared. I’m having trouble sourcing a new one. Lewmar seems to have discontinued it.
Any ideas of the specs/dimensions? Can’t I just use stock brass or stainless if I could find the right length and diameter?
The thruster is the Lewmar 110T
Thanks. Jeff waldron

Depending on the model thruster you have this may be the part this is for a R31. There is more than a shear pin that can break there is a nylon/plastic coupling.

My 2020 R23 pin just sheared also, what a coincidence....I found the part to be "Lewmar 559017 Bw Only Ss Shear Pin" and I ordered it through Walmart. It says 185TT, but according to Lewmar, the 110 and 185 use the same pin.

Good luck, I'm going to install next week...

Thanks for the quick responses! Please let me know how the pin works for you.
I’ve heard Lewmar isn’t real responsive so I’d appreciate any words of wisdom you learn
I did end up finding one online but for $20 and it won’t be here for a week. Seemed excessive what’s a guy to do…

Sorry for the incorrect information on your thruster.
