I’ve got an old 1968 StarCraft Starchief with a MerCruiser MC-1 on it and for the love of me I can’t find the tool to remove the pins on the Gimbal. Anyone got any idea? Trying to replace the bellows 0F854766-2674-4D68-A22B-27110B4153BD.jpeg

Those have nails holding them in.
If you look to the right of the hinge pin in the picture you'll see it.
The nail is bent on the end facing the bow.
Be careful with them. They are no longer available.
Once you have the nails removed you can use a slide hammer to remove the hinge pins.

Good you got it out.
Should be able to find something.
I'm guessing they're stainless.
