Lever pin assembly broke, anyone have this happen?

Hi All, we were cleaning out the drive shaft of our Scarab 165 ID after driving over some rope. Followed the helpful video here Here from this forum. THANKS by the way. Unfortunately when we were reassembling the final piece the bolt that connects the rear bucket and the lever just broke off. now we are looking at buying a new lever pin assembly, this seems to be the part Here. However my question is, has this happened to anyone? The boat is a 2019, only has 80 hours. It seems like such a bizarre part to break, and after just hand tightening with a small socket wrench. It does not appear that you can take the bolt out of the lever pin, and instead must buy the whole part.

See photos. Thanks!

Been following this forum and Facebook pages for many years now. No, I have never heard of this breaking. BUT, that doesn't mean it hasn't of course. Lol

That does indeed suck.
