My pedestal bolts are SS without a problem. Aluminum bolts are easily corroded in the salt environment, and are as strong as SS. Use SS, but be sure to properly isolate it with Tef-Gel, Silicone, or other SS/Al isolation materials.

If I could find some 1/2” aluminum ready rod or a hex head bolt I could probably shape it into a flat head and slot it with a hacksaw.

Are you sure you need flatheat? Our pedestal bolts are 1/2" hex head and 6" cut down.

All I could do was drill it out. Now I’m having difficulty finding a replacement. I called Edson and they advised me that they no longer carry the 6” bolt. Thanks C&C for making an extra heavy cockpit sole. So does anyone know where I can source a flat head 1/2” X 6” (5” would work) aluminum bolt. If a pinch I would use a stainless.
