Stainless Steel Nuts FAQs

What type of nuts and bolts should I use for outboard mounting?2025-02-21T08:51:28-05:00

Stainless steel nuts and bolts are the most popular and wisest choice. Unlike standard steel fasteners, stainless steel options won’t rust or weaken when exposed to saltwater, ensuring a secure and long-lasting installation.

What are marine-grade stainless steel nuts and bolts?2023-09-28T09:41:35-04:00

These nuts and bolts have been specially designed for use in the marine industry, making them more weather and corrosion-resistant than many other grades.

What is the difference between 18-8/304 and 316 stainless steel nuts?2025-02-21T08:52:01-05:00

The primary difference between 18-8/304 and 316 stainless steel nuts is their corrosion resistance. Both are highly durable, but 316 stainless steel contains a higher percentage of molybdenum, making it more resistant to rust and pitting, especially in saltwater environments. While 18-8/304 stainless steel is adequate for freshwater use, 316 stainless steel is the better choice for marine applications where prolonged exposure to saltwater can cause faster degradation.

Does it matter whether you tighten the bolt head or the nut?2023-09-28T09:40:51-04:00

In most cases, it doesn’t matter. Unless, the nut and bolt head are different diameters or shapes, or when clamping two different materials together.

Should the nut be the same grade as the bolt?2025-02-21T08:54:41-05:00

For the best results, yes. Using a nut of the same grade as the bolt ensures uniform strength and corrosion resistance. To achieve maximum durability, always match the nut and bolt in terms of material and grade.

What types of stainless steel nuts are available?2023-09-28T09:40:09-04:00

Stainless steel hex nuts, stainless steel lock nuts, stainless steel wing nuts, and stainless steel cap nuts are all great choices.
