[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 422883, member: 13599"] Tim, in my world, I have no second thoughts about using brass screws - - I would scrounge up a 50ft hose from where ever and split it open. Then, measure the two thicknesses with the boat hull and purchase a box of brass round head machine screws, washers, and nuts. #10x1" or 3/4". If you want to go stainless, that is up to you. I will not enter the brass/bronze/copper/galvanized debate. Personal choice as to cut off the excess of the screws or not for a neat, safe appearance. and yes, fire hose CAN be painted with any paint - match your boat if you wanna. self tapping screws pose a safety/snag hazard as well as rust (eventually). It ain't rocket science - it's a boat. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Fire Hose.png"]88075._xfImport[/ATTACH] . [/QUOTE]
