Common Concerns Answered
Are fasteners included with the Sea-Dog Barrel Bolt?
No, the Sea-Dog Barrel Bolt requires six #6 FH fasteners which are not included and must be purchased separately. This allows you to select the appropriate fastener length and type for your specific mounting surface.
Is the chrome finish durable in marine environments?
The chrome finish over extruded brass provides excellent corrosion resistance for marine use. However, like all finishes, care should be taken during installation to avoid scratching, which can expose the underlying material.
Why are fasteners not included?
The exclusion of fasteners allows boaters to choose the optimal screw length and material (e.g., stainless steel) for their specific substrate thickness and environmental conditions, ensuring a secure and long-lasting installation without potential compromise from generic included hardware.
