These high quality, marine grade, passivated 316 SS cotter pins (also known as split pins) come in handy for all kinds of uses on a boat. From securing sailing yacht rigging, to locking castle nuts, propellers, or trailer hitches, they are always good to have around. Pick up a few of each size and be sure that you'll be able to solve those inevitable issues right out on the water.
Our cotter pins are made from SOLID alloy 316 stainless steel also known as A4 or 316L. Most cotter pins you'll find are made from 304, 18-8, or A2 stainless and will quickly start to develop rust and leave unsightly streaks on deck. They are incredibly resistant to saltwater and will hold your clevis pins, props, turnbuckles, and other various fittings securely for years to come.
Cotter pin thickness (diameter) is the thickness of the shank across both prongs, and the length is measured from the bottom of the head to the shortest prong. Please see the diagram in the photos for sizing help.

I ordered an assortment in July because I didn't know the exact size of the one I needed and am glad I did. I am using one to repair a snowblower chute handle and the softer stainless-steel ones I bought from the hardware store break after one or two uses. These new ones are clearly stronger. I am hoping these will last much longer. However, I won't know until winter (it's August now).
Fair Winds Fasteners fulfilled the order quickly and with an attractive box, too.
I was looking for 316 stainless steel cotter pins. Most online services say they have stainless steel but don't define what grade of stainless. When you look further, you find it is either not listed or is 304. Fair wind carries the real deal and they service very quickly, great to have found them.
Just what i ordered
All items were received as expected. The quality of the bolts and pins seems very good. Time will tell of course but initial inspection was very good.
Thanks!
Gonna use them in my stove.

I ordered 300+ cotter pins of different sizes and lengths. I like that they are 316 stainless steel. They were as described and were delivered in a reasonable time. (7-10 days).

These are high quality cotter pins. They are far better than the local hardware stores. The price was very reasonable too. I'll be buying all of my small hardware from these folks from now on.
Great service at a fair price, placed order and 3 days later product was at my door.
Fast shipping
First Class outfit !
They performed as desired. Correct size. Quickly shipped. Thank you.
Great pricing for 316 stainless and bronze fasteners with fast shipping!
I called Fair Wind to make sure it was actually a real company before I ordered because I wasn’t sure how they were able to sell the specific cotter pins I was looking for at about 50% less than anywhere else. I still don’t know how they do it but I got what I ordered about 2 days faster than I expected and at a great price. Will certainly be ordering from them again if I need more marine fasteners.
FWF is the only place that I could find the proper bronze bolts for a boat project. Their selection of high quality hardware is the best I’ve seen and overall experience was great.
