    Screw ID help

    This screw is one of a few that hold down the seating in my Ranger that I need to replace. It doesn't appear to be stainless steel. Any ideas on what type of metal it's made of? Is it just a normal woood screw?

    Most boat manufacturers use a stainless truss screw
    Has a larger diameter head

    Take it to an Ace Hardware. They carry a better selection of screws then Lowes or HD, plus their people are more helpful.

    Base material is surely stainless steel. Black nickel plated (translucent) or black oxide (all black).
