Aluminum Pedestal Mounting Bolts

Four of these bolts are rquired to mount a pedestal.
Since 1987, Edson pedestals have featured hex-shaped recesses for mounting bolts. With this improvement, the hex head bolts lock in place and require only one person to tighten them. Once installed, the heads fit flush with the base for a clean look.

The aluminum alloy used for these bolts is the same as the pedestal base, thus eliminating all reactions due to dissimmilar metals. Anyone who has tried to remove an old, corroded pedestal installed with stainless steel bolts will appreciate this.

Flat head aluminum bolts are still available for boats with countersunk mounting holes, purchased prior to February 1987.
