The Marine Fasteners RP-583 is a 100-piece pack of #8 x 1/2-inch Phillips oval head self-tapping screws purpose-built for marine and boating applications. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws deliver reliable corrosion resistance in wet, saltwater, and high-humidity environments where standard fasteners would quickly fail.
The oval head profile sits slightly above the surface with a gentle dome, providing a clean, finished appearance ideal for visible or trim applications. The Phillips drive ensures fast, easy installation with standard Phillips screwdrivers or power tools. As self-tapping screws, they cut their own mating threads during installation, eliminating the need for pre-tapping in sheet metal, fiberglass, wood, and plastic substrates commonly found on boats and marine equipment.
