last trip out I lost the stainless bolt that connects the poles together.Is it a 1/4 20 stainless machine bolt???Ive been looking all over for one.The boat is in havasu,so I cant just remove the other side and go to a hareware store.West marine website didnt help much.I was wanting to buy a few of them,they get loose all the time.Thanks RR

My boat is in DP, queer.
Next time you're up, let me know and I'll make sure the coast is clear so we can go over and measure one.

Any Ace Hardware should have what you are looking for. Pretty common size.

Call Magic and have them ship you a couple (for free). They shouldn't have any problem doing that for you right?:D

Agreed. Call Chad at Corona Magic and tell him your situation. He should be able to help you out. although, i heard a rumor that he is not into purple boats so that might make things a little harder for you.:) :)

Post a pic. If it's the same ones we use, I can send you a few. Is it a regular head 1/4 20 but only threaded about a 1/4"?

When you put them together use a little red locktite, that should hold them in place:idea:
