Author	Topic:   What size screws
geohjr	posted 10-31-2003 09:36 PM ET (US)         Can anyone tell me what the right size screw is for reinstalling rails on a 16-7 1970 hull. All I have is the rails, I don't have any of the screws. They look like they should be oval head, were the originals sloted or phillips? Are they #12 head? What's the right length? Any info greatlt appreciated.
