We used these anchors on my new floorboards....$$$$ but they work great and if you needed to get the floor up in a hurry.....there's no alternative that looks and works as well. I'm installing the Floor Latch for the bilge cover this spring.

You are less likely to have to resort to some sort of alternate extraction device with Robertson head screws. They are way better than Phillips or slot heads in transferring torque from the screwdriver to the screw. In my opinion they are better in all applications except for assembly line work, where speed of assembly is the overriding concern, and where the engineers don't care if it is later difficult to remove them. The only thing I would do is make sure that they are stainless or bronze, and check them once in a while if you are concerned that they will fill up with dirt. That is not something that is likely to happen quickly. Virtually every screw used to fasten anything that is connected to the hull of my boat has required re-tightening at some time. There must be a lot of flexing going on that is not obvious when actually sailing the boat. Steve Thomas 1978 C&C MKIII
