Stainless Steel Fasteners-Source?

[saltyfish]

I'm replacing (before installation) all of the rusty fasteners (and thru-bolts) on a used stern platform-ladder (Garelick, I believe). It was from a 2005 23 SE.

While I'm at it, the fasteners on my Lenco tabs aren't pretty either.

What's the best source of quality SS fasteners? I'm landlocked here in central VA, so will have to do this by mail.

thanks

McMaster Carr has EVERYTHING, including SS316, but it isn't cheap. You can try Bolt Depot too.

Defender, Hamilton Marine, and Jamestown Distributors are my other go-to options.

Try www.go2marine.com out of the West Coast ... bought some large 1/2" diameter 10" long 316L SS bolts when I installed my pulpit.

Years ago this was a great place to walk into but now they are internet sales only. http://www.boltdepot.com/service/
