I was repairing the light fixture on my bow light over the weekend and I removed it to look at the wires and when I took out the through hull bolts for the bow light I realized they were both bent. Are these standard bolts that I can get a replacement for? Anyone know the size or description to use to find one? Anyone know where to buy them?
Thanks for your help!

I used 4" 5/16 thread with the hex type head as a temporary solution for my bow light through bolts. I would rather have a phillips type head for ease of tighteing. Thanks for the infor Scott, I will call Sue today to get some bolts. The local hardware stores nearby do not carry what I need.

I just replaced one on my Montauk. They are 5/16 thread machine screws and are 2 1/2" long. Everyone seemed to have either the 2" or the 3" screw, but not the 2 1/2". I ended up buying a 3" and cutting it down to 2 1/2". If you go this route, be sure to put a nut on first. That way, when you take it off, it will re-align any threads that may have been bent in the cutting process. My replacement looks the same as the original and only cost $1.30.
