My outboard bolt handles broke-gctid811166

Not sure what terminology for these are, but they are the toggle handles for the bolt that clamps the outboard to the dinghy. I store the outboard up on the flybridge clamped to the rail. They were real tight, just about froze. So the pins snapped and the cast aluminum split. Can I order new ones, grease the screws, and hope this doesn't happen again? Today I had to use a wrench to get them on/off after the knobs snapped.

We did, but everything was priced much more than new, so they went out of business. The only time I saw people there was at their going out of business sale when everything was 50% off.
