Project 5 Fin-Screw V2A M6

FAQ

What is the Project 5 Fin-Screw V2A M6 used for?

The countersunk screw is used to securely attach fins to kite, surf, and SUP boards. It is suitable as a replacement or repair screw if the original screw is lost or worn out.

What material is the Fin-Screw made of?

The screw is made of V2A stainless steel. This makes it rust-resistant and able to withstand continuous exposure to saltwater.

What thread size does the screw have?

The Fin-Screw has an M6 metric thread and is designed with a countersunk (flat) head, so that it sits flush in the fin.

Which board types is the M6 Fin-Screw suitable for?

The screw is suitable for all boards and fins that use an M6 fin thread – typical for many kiteboards, surfboards, and SUP boards.

How is the Fin-Screw installed?

The screw is screwed through the fin into the thread in the board using a suitable hex or Torx wrench (depending on the design). Tighten the countersunk head evenly so that the fin sits securely without damaging the board or fin material.

Is the screw suitable for use in seawater?

Yes, V2A stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and designed for continuous use in salt and fresh water.

How do I properly care for the fin screw?

Occasionally rinse the screw with fresh water to remove salt and sand residue. Keep the thread clean and, before inserting, lightly protect it with thread locker or wax to prevent it from loosening on its own.
