the reason I don't use the screws that come with the 70-P is they are sheet metal screws and are very sharp. I have seen shreaded drybags from said screws. It takes all of a minute to reach up with a pair of wire cutters and nip the ends off and/or coat them with a dab of sealer. You're going to have to do that with any screws that are similar in length, as they'll all have the same tendency to shred gear bags, assuming that they do at all. Since there's no way to tell how thick the material in the screw locations is, you're going to have to use over-length screws to start with. In several of the boats I've installed them in, the screws were either completely embedded in the deck or they were situated in such a high, protected recess that it was unlikely that any gear would be able to get close to them. |
