Bolt Sizes - please confirm

Post by Kohi »

Hi,

I am replacing the rudder brackets and ballast gate valve on my 26M. Can anyone please confirm the bolt sizes are as follows:

Rudder Bracket: 8 x (nut + bolt + washer) 316 stainless steel
Bolts are 1/4" x 1.5” long

Ballast Vent 4 x (screw head bolts)
1/4" x 2.25” long. Is 316 stainless steel okay as they will be below the water line?

Many thanks,
Kohi.
