Hinge pin problem, Bowmar hatch
I have a Bowmar hatch from 1990. One of the hinge pins is partway out. I'm not sure how it got that way. No info from prior owner. The pin is frozen; I can't push it in, rotate it, or pull it out. I tried removing some screws but could not free up the hinge to remove it to take home to a work bench. Maybe everything is bonded to the deck? Any ideas? The pin is a white plastic or teflon material I think.
I tried contacting Bowmar but could not get to a technical person yet.
Thanks,
Barry

Re: Hinge pin problem, Bowmar hatch
So, I'm going with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" advice.
Thanks all!
