I still have a bag of those clips left if you want them. I drilled mine for cotter pins. I would keep soaking the hinge down with PB Blast. That stuff seems to work way better than anything else I have ever tried.

I remember a while back there was a post about those clips and some one got them from McMaster Car.

Unless they have changed, the McMaster Carr clips are light-duty and not suitable at all for this application. Buy the Merc part.

Hinge pins
I used a right angle grinder with a
2 to 2 1/2 inch cut off wheel and cut in
between ever single hinge joint.
Then you can get them out pretty easy
but you will still need a little heat.
I ordered the new pins through
Mcmaster Carr.
I ordered ( Nitronic 50 Stainless Steel).
It's better than 316, they use it for
shafting application's etc.
1/2 dia X 3' long $30.22
part # 9076K11
Cut it to your length's and put it
on a lathe for your groove for your
clips and your in business.

Pins
Audiofn,
On my previous boat I had the threaded ends
aswell. Cosmetically they look nicer, to work
on them I'll never have them again.
They were loctited on , as they should be.
Couldn't get them to release even with heat.
Ended up galling one and couldn't get the
other one loose.
And to top that, that particular boat
had one of those wonderful built in
fiberglass swim platforms. So you could
only take the pin out going toward the drive.
So I cut the little guy off and went to
the simple but effective clip method.
