Goose necking
It may be floating around loose in the boat somewhere.
My 23 is exactly the same and the original cast one broke. The PO fabricated 2 new ones from billet stock and, I hate to say it, I'm loath to part w/ the spare. I can however provide the dimensions to have one made. Let me know if you want a sketch.
Here's a pic of mine.

gooseneck
Found it!
When I bought the boat in late fall, I put 30+ years of 'stuff' in two piles.
One pile was GARBAGE.
The second pile, anything I thought might be useful/handy, or anything I couldn't immediately know what it was. The gooseneck fell into the second category.
One less thing to buy!
or, said another way,
Now I have money to buy something else for the boat!

Gooseneck/pin
After inspecting it all further today, I've got a question about the pin that inserts into the gooseneck to hold it all together.
The one pin I have seems to want to drop in from the top, but it won't really fit due to the 'head' part of the pin on the thumb-release end being too wide.
Can anyone describe for me further what type pin they use? Or, better yet, a picture (saving you a thousand words).
Thanks

Marcus, The pin(on mine) is 3"lg x 1/4" w/ a spring loaded ball on the "inny" end and it "had" a split ring which I removed. It's basically a friction fit(tap in). You can see the top of it in the pic above(if you blow it up). If yours is missing you could probably use a 1/4" bolt w/ a "smooth section" long enough to extend thru the gooseneck. Pretty sure the 1/4" x 3" ball pin is a standard WM item also.
