Marine Hardware

Marine hardware covers the fittings, fasteners, and components that keep boats strong, safe, and easy to operate. From dockside to offshore, the right boat hardware stands up to saltwater, UV, shock, and constant vibration. You’ll find corrosion‑resistant materials, smart designs, and proven brands so you can build, refit, or repair with confidence.

Look for marine‑grade stainless steel (316 for harsh saltwater, 304 for interior use), silicon bronze for underwater fittings, anodized aluminum for weight savings, and UV‑stable polymers for non‑metal tasks. Check working load limits, thread standards, and certifications such as ABYC and ISO. Proper fit matters: match NPT vs BSP threads, choose backing plates where loads are high, and bed hardware with the right sealant to stop leaks.

Common marine hardware you’ll find:
- Cleats, chocks, and fairleads for docking and mooring
- Deck fills, deck plates, and inspection ports
- Hinges, latches, hasps, and locks for hatches and doors
- Rails, stanchions, and bases for lifelines and safety
- Shackles, swivels, turnbuckles, and chain for rigging
- Blocks, clutches, cam cleats, and small winches for sail control
- Seacocks, through‑hulls, strainers, and scuppers for plumbing
- Fasteners, backing plates, bedding compounds, and sealants
- Anodes and bonding hardware for corrosion protection

Benefits include longer service life, fewer failures, smoother handling, and quieter rides. Upgrade to 316 stainless or bronze in high‑exposure areas, add proper backing, and use anti‑seize on threads for easier maintenance. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape where appropriate, and choose polyurethane or polysulfide sealants for underwater fittings. Rinse with fresh water, inspect for crevice corrosion, and replace worn parts before they compromise safety.
