Boat Canvas Snap Size

[MiLoII]

Hi All -- not sure if this can be definitely answered without measuring, but here goes as i don't have access to boat now and didn't have foresight to bring a snap home in fall. I have a 2005 320 DA. I'm looking to get a jump on ordering some maintenance parts and i have need to replace some of the canvas snaps screwed into hull . They seem to come in 3 sizes, 8x1/2, 8x3/8, and 8x5/8 . Does anyone have same boat that can advise what theirs are? I appreciate it

Just get the longer ones. It won't hurt anything to go longer - and it might be beneficial. FYI, the ones you are looking at are for metal, not fiberglass. They "may" create too large of a pilot hole for glass/wood - I can't say for sure as I've never tried since I've always used the ones meant for soft material (regular screw tip).
