boat seat bolt

[ClownColor]

Stupid question but can't find the answer...what's the exact bolt length/size for a standard boat seat? I believe its 20 x ?

if you are installing a new seat and can't remove another bolt to measure it, check the thread depth with a small screwdriver or toothpick, whatever you have handy. You probably want the bolt to use up as much of the threads as possible. I think most are 20x1/4" and 1 or 2" long. It has been a while since I looked at one and I'm too lazy to go out and pull one out.

I actually bought a new seat and I remembered hearing something fall off...didn't click until I got home that I lost the bolts at the store. Thought it would be easier to pick up 4 bolts at the hardware store then to drive back and return for one with the bolts.
