I wonder if Land and Sea would be kind enough to tell you who their supplier was since they don't have any interest in Stern Jacks anymore...

I have talked to them in the past and realize they're not the most helpful people, but ya' never know...

If you decide to do it let me know...

I may be interested in getting a spare just to have it...
