How to Choose Marine Fasteners
- Start with the environment: Saltwater, freshwater, UV exposure, and constant moisture all affect fastener performance. For boats, docks, and outdoor marine hardware, prioritize corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel fasteners. In highly exposed areas, 316 stainless steel screws and bolts are often preferred because they are designed for better resistance in demanding marine conditions.
- Match the fastener to the load: Use screws for lighter fastening, panels, trim, and many general repairs. Choose bolts and nuts when the connection must handle higher loads, vibration, or through-fastening requirements. For dock building, gangways, ladders, brackets, and structural hardware, bolts are often the stronger choice.
- Choose the right washer: Washers are small but important. They help spread clamping force, reduce pull-through, and protect surfaces from damage. Pair washers with bolts when fastening into wood, fiberglass, aluminum, or other materials where pressure distribution matters.
- Confirm size, thread, and head style: Before ordering, check length, diameter, thread type, drive type, and head style. A fastener that is too short may not hold securely, while one that is too long can interfere with nearby components or create a safety hazard. Compare options carefully before checkout, or contact Fisheries Supply for help selecting the right Fasteners, Inc. hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are marine fasteners?
Marine fasteners are screws, bolts, nuts, washers, and related hardware designed for use on boats, docks, and other wet or corrosive environments. They are commonly made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel.
What fasteners should I use for dock building?
For dock building, use corrosion-resistant bolts, nuts, screws, and washers sized for the load and material. Bolts are typically best for structural connections, while screws are useful for decking, panels, and lighter-duty fastening.
Are stainless steel screws good for marine use?
Yes. Stainless steel screws are commonly used in marine applications because they resist rust and corrosion better than standard steel. For more demanding saltwater exposure, 316 stainless steel is often preferred.
When should I use bolts instead of screws?
Use bolts when a connection needs higher strength, through-fastening, or better resistance to vibration and movement. Screws are better for lighter fastening where access to the back side of the material may be limited.
Why are washers important in marine fastening?
Washers distribute pressure, help prevent pull-through, and protect the surface being fastened. They are especially useful when bolting into wood, fiberglass, aluminum, or other materials used in boats and docks.
