Wanted Raymarine mounting knob

[vogel451]

 

I lost a mounting knob while on vacation. It goes to a RAYMARINE 12"  A128 MULTIFUNCTION Mount.  When I called Raymarine they just want to sell me a whole mount kit and nothing else. They say they don’t have a part number for that individual part.....So 70$ for a knob. This is a last ditch effort to not have to pay the man.... Alternate ideas for replacement appreciated

The right size bolt with a wingnut head? Maybe some o rings or a piece of rubber tubing on the bolt to get the tension if you wanna get really slick make a mold of the plastic part of the other knob and pour some epoxy in it around the bolt head 70 is ridiculous for that part

Yeah and I know 70$ is just a drop in the hat in the grand scheme of things but now they just pissed me off. Also my wife is sick of hearing about the knob!! Lol

It appalling that they wouldn’t send me a knob on such a high end item. I’m trying to get over myself lol

found these on ebay they are for a different model so dont know if they would work or not your right for the level of unit you have you would think raymarine would help you out

Thanks for your efforts!  I was looking at a few on Ebay too.  I haven't made it the hardware store to match it up and try to make anything like you suggested, so I dont feel I have enough info to just throw money at it quite yet.  I was hoping for someone to say "Hey I got one" (yeah right).  I also entertained the idea of getting a Locked bolt setup for the one side.  A company makes them for 20$ I have no idea of the quality or anything...Ironically enough someone I think just posted a FF with the same knobs for sale.  But of course why would anyone part with them
