Common Concerns Answered
I'm having trouble finding the exact thread pitch for my replacement cam bar.
This Whitecap Offset Long Cam Bar features a 3/8" metric threaded shaft, providing a specific and direct replacement solution for vessels equipped with metric fasteners. Always verify your existing thread size and pitch before purchase to ensure optimal compatibility.
Are there stainless steel options available?
While this specific model is a zinc replacement, the material is chosen for its direct compatibility and common use in marine applications. For highly corrosive environments, consider investigating other specialized stainless steel latching hardware.
