Second one I've heard of. Apparently Mallory has since started using a double rollpin due to this very problem. I've heard you can order the replacement from Mallory, but I'm betting you could match it up with a double rollpin locally. If ya look at it closely, you can see a pin within a pin. I'm running a Mallory unilite, as well as a few boating buddies. It's got me a little nervous.
