What kind of screw is this?

[Constant840]

Need to find some spare screws for the bimini.
I've been on McMasterCarr website for an hour... wtf are these called?
I suppose I could go down there, but I'd rather not.

It's called a captive screw.

You may have better luck at fastenal or you local bolt supplier

Eh. Hard to tell.
I guess I'll make the drive.

If thats for a deck hinge and you remove it a lot you might want to go to a hinge pin.
Suncorstainless.com.

McMaster Carr has them, they are exactly what Nucking futs said. Captive panel screws.

 

[srttruck]

I dunno, you're screwed.




Yes, captive screw

PHCS = Pan Head Captive Screw

Try west marine.

Not sure where you are located, but Rail Makers in Costa Mesa sell individual parts, stuff for Bimini's. Not sure if they are open on Saturdays?

Try west marine.

The one on PCH did not have one. I needed the same screw for my old bimini.

Here's a few other options to consider too if you'd like to order some,

Here is Sea-Dog's part numbers, http://www.sea-dog.com/groups/1184-rail-fittings-replacement-parts

Sea-Dog's part numbers didn't seem to be coming up under West Marine's website like it did for iboats as an example, http://www.iboats.com/SHOULDER-SCRE...030330--session_id.859412491--view_id.1387591

Another thought would be just about any local "production" type boat dealer ship should have some laying around the shop/parts room too.
