Don’t order the quick release pins from West Marine, I’ve been through several of them, they don’t hold up, the little balls fall out. I ordered a different brand and type today, we will see how they hold up.

yes, I have had several pins fail on me too. Wasn’t worth it to keep visiting West Marine (returned a couple under warranty) so I went back to the M8 lag bolts. @Mad Dog , please share your experience with the new brand trial pins. Hope they work out better.

Will do.

Yup on both counts, and what they want for those things is ridiculous. I’ll let you know if the new ones hold.

None of mine failed, I don't think, but I couldn't find the order confirmation email I usually save. I think they were fine for a year. But since I removed all the bag and passenger stuff, and did high speed runs, I noticed two were missing, different vibration, maybe? I got two full sets for less than $20, just shopping around on the internet. I think the fit is just too loose, but I only found the same two sizes @Mad Dog did.

Keenly interested to knowing how these work out; assuming you have enough finger space to properly tighten.
