high tensile bolts?

[fizzy]

I has numerous bow eye cleats fail on my boat due to mooring snatch loads. Replaced with a steel one and it was fine. Mind you that would have been high chromium stainless. I suspect a lesser grade would have been more ductile.

Tried some Screwfix A2 woodscrews once. Bought on clearance they should have come with a warning on the box "USE ONLY ONCE & NEVER ATTEMPT TO UNSCREW". Trying to unscrew just turned them into a non removable security screw.

Bought others from there and they've been spot on.

I've switched to using deck screws outdoors....my deck used stainless but they were awful to use and bent very easily.

I've decided not to take that rout. when the time comes I buy a shorter shocks from hagons.
as for s/steel bolts its a no no.
thanks for your replies and advice.'
