Marine self drilling screws, or self tapping bolts, are innovative fasteners that offer a combination of drilling, tapping, and fastening capabilities in a single operation. These screws have gained popularity due to their efficiency and versatility across various applications. By eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes, they provide significant time and cost savings in assembly processes.

Marine Self Drilling Screws are available in different thread types, including coarse and fine threads, catering to specific applications. Coarse threads, known as Type BSD, are ideal for metal-to-metal connections, while fine threads, referred to as Type CSD, are suitable for wood-to-metal attachments.
These boat bolts come with drill points of varying sizes, allowing them to penetrate different material thicknesses. The drill capacity, which specifies the range of material thickness the screw can effectively drill, varies based on the point length and bolt diameter.
Marine Self Tapping Screws come in various head styles, such as bugle, flat, hex washer, modified truss, oval, pan, pancake, trim, and wafer. The choice of head style depends on the specific application requirements.
The material composition of these screws is typically heat-treated steel, ensuring strength and durability. Coatings such as zinc plating provide moderate corrosion protection, while black oxide or phosphate coatings offer minimal protection. For specialized applications, there are ACQ-compatible coatings available, and stainless steel self tapping screws offer superior corrosion resistance.
During the drilling process, chips are created. For applications where chip creation is undesirable, needle-point bolts can be used as an alternative. These boat screws pierce the material without generating chips but are limited to light gauge sheet metal applications.
In certain scenarios, marine self tapping bolts may feature bonded washers to provide a leak-resistant seal. It is important to avoid using magnetic bits or sockets with self-sealing self-drilling screws and ferrous materials, as magnetically attracted chips can compromise the seal.
For wood-to-metal applications, some self-drilling screws have wings near the drill point. These wings ream an oversized hole in the wood, preventing “jacking” or separation of the wood and the base material.
Nuts are generally not used with self-drilling screws, and washers are rarely required, except for specific cases such as self-sealing washers.
