i believe i used 2" ss with washer and nylon lock nut. I went completely thru ,didnt screw it on. the size of screw head is determined by the counter sink on the launcher. also , dont forget to apoxy holes or 4200.

I don't recall the length of mine, but I would think that 2" would be about right.
I just used typical stainless hex hardware and fender washers as seen in these photos.

See those extra bolt lengths Capt Kevin leaves hanging behind? I cut them off with a dremel and then grind the whole thingy smooth with a diamond wheel. Nothing to cut a hand or snag a fishing line on.

A clean bilge he has ... but errant hardware ... eewwhhhhhewwwwwwick :shock: !

I agree. I would go so far as to cut or get the bolt to the right lenght to allow for a cap or acorn nut to give it that finished look.

Acorn nut? Cha-ching $$, they sure don't give 'em away at those prices :shock: !

I'll do it eventually... the acorn nuts, that is.

Dale, I put these kind of things on the Megabyte so you wouldn't look up and see my crummy hardware.
