Subject: [Catalina22] cracked pintle casting

I just got back from Atlantic Welding.  The owner said they will fix my broken pintle casting which is aluminum.  Total cost $30.00.  He said the corrosion between the stainless pimple and the aluminum casting caused the casting to "pop" or burst.  Anyway,  I can't and won't be getting the pintles out, and I don't foresee having to for any reason.  

Thanks to all who gave input!
