The Basile Workshop Tip

• Materials: AISI 316 stainless steel is the ideal choice for areas most exposed to saltwater. Nylon is an excellent alternative for interior areas or those less prone to corrosion.


• Compatibility: Always verify the diameter and head type of the screw before choosing a screw cover. A cover that's too small or too large won't provide adequate protection.


• Installation: Self-tapping screw covers are easy to install and don't require tools. For traditional models, make sure you have suitable pliers or a screwdriver.


• Maintenance: Regularly clean the screw covers with fresh water and mild soap to remove salt and dirt.

FAQ

What is the best material for screw covers in a marine environment?

AISI 316 stainless steel is the most resistant material to marine corrosion and therefore the most suitable for screw covers exposed to saltwater. Alternatively, nylon offers good resistance in less aggressive environments.

How do I choose the right size screw cover?

Measure the diameter of the screw head and choose a screw cover with a slightly larger internal diameter. This way, the screw cover will fit perfectly onto the screw without forcing it.

Are self-tapping screw covers suitable for all surfaces?

Self-tapping screw covers are ideal for soft surfaces such as wood and plastic. For harder surfaces such as metal or fiberglass, it is advisable to use traditional screw covers with separate screws.

Can I use screw covers to protect engine screws?

Yes, stainless steel screw covers are perfect for protecting engine screws from corrosion and oxidation. Just make sure you choose a model that is resistant to high temperatures.
