33i roller furling shackle

[memornix]

The shackle to attach the tack of my jib to the roller furler on a 2010 33i uses a long D allen bolt shackle.  The allen portion has finally stripped out from years of abuse my 3 owners and I had to saw it open at the end of last season.  Now that is the beginning of the next season and I didn't do anything about it over the winter, I need to source a new one.  


I have scoured the web and no one seems to have the right thing.  Curious if the group has encountered this as well.

I would start with the furling manufacturer. They should have replacement parts. We have a ProFurl and their part list is very good.

Thanks for the response, that was actually the information I needed.  I am away from the boat and I couldn't get Furlex out of my head.  Once searching profurl I found the parts list and the shackle.  For the record, it is part #1313 on the 33i and Wichard makes a replacement.
