Hey! I have a Fanatic BAT 350. The universal joint I have does not match the board (and the joint's pin recently broke off anyways). Here are photos of the joint and the receiving end on the board.
What parts do I need to get to be able to have a working rig?
Thanks
That is totally a standard base - except for the very last bit, which will be about 1" dia with a groove in it, and will probably be unique to older Fanatics.
I dunno what the end will be, but you should have that as it would have been captured in the board when the bolt broke? So all you need is to replace the bolt which will be standard kinda thread, probably M8 x 1.5 stainless. After you get it out, any fixing joint (not Bunnings!!!) will be able to match it.
If a bolt of that size sheared off, which takes a lot of force - I think it may be time to replace the rubber Boge joint too just in case.
I must clarify a couple things. First of all, the base was being used on a completely different board. And the pin slid out and was last immediately after it broke off. I never saw the pin after the mast base came off. Also, they pin doesn't even go into the rubber joint. It goes (went) about half a centimeter into that plastic base at the bottom. There is now a tiny hole where the pin used to be (any threadings are likely stripped, I think). Would it be possible to get a pin that would fit the Fanatic board and screw into the base where the only pin was (assuming the threadings are NOT stripped)?
Thanks a bunch.
The only information I have been able to find anywhere about this board that could potentially be useful is that apparently somebody modified the track on their board for a non-adjustable track.
How would I do this and how would I repair my universal joint to fit it?
I'm perfectly fine with having a board that does not have an adjustable track. At the moment, I do not have a board that works at all and I am willing to make any compromises to get out on the water again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S.: I tried unscrewing the bolt on the bottom of my universal joint with an allen wrench but I couldn't get it to budge at all. Am I doing something wrong?
