So finding stainless steel machine flat head screws in 1/4 inch by 6 inches long is impossible so it looks like it aint gunna happen so… can I use hex head bolts with a standard flat washer rather than the recessed ones used that go through the vinyl gunwale on the Old Town Discovery 164?
The only thing I see as an issue is that they will not be as low profile as the stock screws.
This is my last effort or I will be stuck with the thin stock flimbsy things Old Town provided.
Talk to me guys and gals, what would you do?
Go to…
http://www.mcmaster.com/ and key in these two part numbers for your preferred drive style; #91771A577 and #91781A577.
Either of these screws should fit your need.

Yes I did Mike!
and check this out, I ordered them around 10am my time(PST)and got them around 3pm today. Must have been dropped shipped or something but they got here the same day!!! How???
I would suggest anyone needing hardware to use them. (pricy though) about $9.50 for five SS Machine flat head phillips 1/4" x 6" screws.
They are perfect and I am really happy I got them, Thanks Holmes again.
Now I can finish this project EXACTLLY how I want it.

Last Fall I spent an entire afternoon driving around town trying to find the same thing. I got to my folks (where I was working on the boat) and told my father what I was looking for and he said “have you checked McMaster-Carr?” in 2 minutes I had ordered the exact thing I needed and and had it the next day.
