Product Details

Silicon bronze screws appear similar to the Phillips head but the Frearson has a more pointed 75 degree V shape. The Frearson drive, with its cross-shape, minimizes cam-out effectively, while the Phillips head, in comparison, is designed to allow cam-out.

Traditional boat builders love these silicon bronze wood screws because they have cut threads and the full-bodied diameter shank. Unlike rolled thread screws with their reduced shank, these screws have a shank diameter that is the same size as the outside of the threads. This completely fills the clearance hole normally drilled for the shank thus creating a waterproof seal. Full-bodied screws are also stronger during drive in, ensuring a better hold.

Available in 10 lengths from 1/2 inch to 2-1/2 inch.

Info & Guides

Silicon Bronze is the traditional choice for marine construction. It is corrosion resistant, helps prevent rot around the screw holes when used under water, and is relatively strong. Although stronger than Solid Brass, Silicon Bronze screws are not as strong as Stainless Steel. They require a carefully sized pilot hole to avoid breakage. We recommend drilling twice (once for the root and once for the shank) as well as using fastener lubricant to avoid breakage.

I am using these bronze screws to attach some molding on my boat. When going into oak, I find that little all purpose grease helps them set in all the way.

Hi Friends, this order (#S3779782) (July 10) is pending according to your staff with whom I talked two weeks ago. That was after waiting one week. He said that you are back-ordered with the factory and hoped to have information for me within a week. I am out of work on that project until I get those screws. Any word on them yet? Please and Thanks. PeterA

Can't comment. I ordered this on July 9 and it has not been received yet. This is the second time this has happened with Jamestown and is very frustrating.

Bronze screws are classy

I am using a lot of bronze screws as I build my Haven 12 1/2. These most recently ordered were specifically for fastening the side decks. The fasten tight and look great.

Silicon Bronze is the way to go!

5 years ago

I am very happy with these wood screws that I ordered. I am assembling the cockpit sole framing in my Haven 12 1/2. The white oak is very dense and very strong. I must carefully drill the screw holes with a countersink bit. Previous screws, stainless and brass have routinely snapped off inside the hole. These silicon bronze screws are very strong. It pays to spend the money on quality!
