Low profile screw heads

[GEM43]

I think I'm correct in saying that low profile screws (for teak planking) are available from HR. Not being an owner of such an august craft I am wondering how I can access HR to purchase, I'm hoping that there's an HR owner on here that could point me in the right direction please?

Not sure what you mean by low profile screws? I would be surprised if HR had special screws just made for them

This type of thing:

Low Profile Head Tek Screws | Baypole Head Self Drilling Screws | Pancake Head Self Drilling Screws | Wafer Head Self Drilling Screws

But I expect the HR versions are 316.

Human Resources are not know for doing anything useful.

Island Packet and a couple of other makers use slightly domed countersunk screws. I got a couple of hundred a few years ago online. They sound perfect, but will require countersinking.

I use those too, available from the same Ebay seller that i linked to in post #7

Countersinking will make any thin decking even thinnner. The HR ones are flat top and bottom. I only have a few left from the ones a friend handed on to me after he sold his boat.
