Boatbuilders use Oval head screws to attach a wide variety of metal trim to decks hatches and other surfaces that people contact regularly. The oval head projects above the surface but because it is gently rounded it doesnt tend to snag on things as easily as a protruding flat head screw. And Silicon Bronze is a great choice--it's great for corrosion resistance. We recommend pre-drilling twice (once for the root and once for the shank) as well as using a screw lubricant to avoid breakage. All screws are threaded for 2/3 of the shank.

I am using these screws to fabricate a cover for the engine control consol on the flybridge, bronze is not affected by the salt. The only fault is the ones I purchased are slotted, but look better than Phillips for a old boat.

The slots that were cut in the heads were inconsistent in depth and width. 5 - 10 % had no slot cut in the head at all
