Intriguing challenge. Wonder who made the original. Hopefully it wasn't a custom piece.
Just for fun I've been searching the internet. Not much success. Doesn't mean you can't find a match. If you need to custom make one, there are avenues. I found several places that will custom machine bronze. It would help to have a CNC CAD drawing of the part. Another challenge given its deterioration. Where exactly is the boat? I saw several locations of a vendor called S&B which advertises CNC machining for bronze. Then there's the issue of sourcing the optimum alloy of bronze. In my search, I found this really neat video of a craftsman casting a bronze pintle and gudgeon set. Much smaller but interesting process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fSAArsB0TE Good luck. Please let us know what happens. -- Dennis C.
