Simpson #6 x 3/4" Pan Head 316 Stainless Steel Marine Screw by Simpson Strong-Tie is purpose-built for boat building and marine trade applications where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Engineered from Type 316 stainless steel, this fastener delivers the ultimate in protection against saltwater, moisture, and chemically caustic environments - making it the go-to choice for attaching trim, rub rail, and molding to fiberglass boat hulls. The pan head profile, sharp point, and high/low serrated thread form work together to drive quickly and hold securely in fiberglass, plywood, and wood-substitute materials.

Key Features

• Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides the ultimate in corrosion protection against saltwater, harsh marine conditions, and chemically caustic environments, ensuring long-lasting performance on boats and watercraft
• High/low serrated thread form - incorporates indentations ("teeth") that cut easily and quickly through high-density materials such as fiberglass and wood-substitute panels, reducing drive effort and speeding up assembly
• Extra-sharp point - speeds screw starts during assembly, minimizing pre-drilling requirements and saving time on the job
• Pan head profile with 0.263 in. head diameter - sits flush and low against the work surface, providing a clean finished appearance ideal for trim, rub rail, and molding applications
• #2 Phillips drive - compatible with standard #2 Phillips bits, making the screw easy to drive with widely available tooling
• Fully threaded shank at 3/4 in. length - the short length means the entire shank is threaded, maximizing holding power in fiberglass and composite materials

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for marine environments, Type 316 stainless steel resists the aggressive corrosion caused by saltwater and chemical exposure - where standard stainless or coated screws would fail prematurely
• The high/low serrated thread form is optimized for fiberglass, plywood, and wood-substitute materials, providing a secure, reliable fastening point in the demanding substrates common to boat hull assembly and marine trim work
• Ideal for applying trim, rub rail, and molding to fiberglass boat hulls - the pan head and sharp point combination allows for fast, clean installation without surface damage
• Simpson Strong-Tie's broad marine fastener program means this screw is part of a trusted system engineered for boat building and marine trade professionals who need consistent, verified performance in harsh conditions
