West Marine 316 Stainless Steel Marine Fastener Kit
West Marine's 316 Stainless Steel Marine Fastener Kit earns its place for offering genuine 316-grade corrosion resistance and a broad assortment tailored to mounting fishing electronics power supplies on saltwater boats. It is positioned as a cost-effective, hobbyist-friendly choice with better marine-grade metallurgy than many economy kits, while still undercutting some specialty electrical brands on price and breadth. Compared with Blue Sea and Attwood it trades some system-specific electrical hardware for a wider general fastener selection, and it offers higher-grade steel than many Scotty or Sea-Dog consumer assortments.
