Hello.
I have an old Suzuki DT5 outboard, and my wife snapped our one and only shear pin. Other than at Ebay, I can't find any of the original OEM part (09202-05020) anywhere. It's not made anymore (not surprising considering its a 1983 engine!). It's a 5mm x 27mm pin.
My question is whether any similar sized marine shear pin would work as a replacement? If not, what info (i.e., material, strength, etc.) would I need to take to a machine shop if I want to get some made?
Thanks!
Corey
