The pin in the picture runs from my rudder casting through the crossbar. You can’t see it in the picture, but the top is chipped, so the clip that holds everything together doesn’t stay reliably connected. I need to order a new one, but I don’t know what to ask for. What are these things called?

Sorry, here are the diagrams, with part #’s. I know, it’s the Sprint 15 site, but most of the parts are for both boats. The parts are colour coded, everything in black fits either boat.
Download the entire enchilada, or just the area of rudders.

Thanks for all the help! Thanks to the Murray’s link, I was able to find what appears to be the right part:
https://www.murrays.com/product/50-40530001/
I called Murray’s when I thought shipping would be $10 and they offered to send it for half that. If this part doesn’t work, I’ll have to reach out to Windsport. I tried to contact them earlier about sails and got no response. I won’t beg a business to take my money.
Murray’s told me the Web store simply defaults shipping cost based on your ZIP code, but as you discovered,they are good about just dropping small parts into an envelope.
Check that Hobie vs the original part with a thread gauge. The Dart might use metric threads. They may be close, but, you will bugger up the female part if the threads gauge differs.
