With Torex heads, you'd never have to worry about that.




All the pop rivets on a Bayliner line up, perfectly!

Eisboch,
To be perfectly honest with you, I like it either way, aligned or a
little cocked to the side.




Even upside down is great! The slots don't even have to line up straight!

Yeah, he drives 'em in with the screw gun, then leaves it against the
rachet buzzing away until the slot aligns like his boss told him
to....because they knew you'd be looking.

Wonder how many they stripped out doing this?

Head alignment is MUCH more important than proper torque, I can see.

With wood you can with some effort align heads and have torque within
tolerance. Especially if you are using a good consistant material.

These guys just gotta go visit a BOAT manufacturer and talk to the "Old
World Craftsmen" to build them. Absolutely no expense is spared. They
spend weeks building a 55' Sea Ray out of absolutely the finest materials
on the planet. Only the finest appliances, hand built plumbing, teflon
insulated wires, all NASA specifications stuff just like the Shuttle has,
installed only by certified technicians who have been to school, like
NASA engineers, for years and years of intensive training.

To hell with the profit margin, which is held to a bare minimum just to
stay in business and give nothing but the finest quality Sea Ray to the
very satisfied customers. Nothing ever breaks or falls apart on any fine
yacht Brunswick and the other fine, upstanding yacht manufacturers build.

Yachts built by slaves in foreign countries for pennies on the dollar,
too, have nothing but the finest craftsmen-slaves driven by the most
gifted slavers and overseers on the planet. Never mind these slaves work
16 hours a day, 7 days a week until they drop from exhaustion! This has
nothing to do with the finest-quality products because the slaves are SO
proud of their work for almost nothing they don't even need to take their
families, back in the shanty town up the hill, a decent wage.
Replacement slaves, who take up the company banner as soon as older
slaves drop dead from exhaustion, have been trained for years and years
at fantastic expense in the company's slave training facilities, hidden
away deep in the hills overlooking the town.

BULL****! They're all made just like the cheap 12V plastic fan Waste
Marine sells for $120.....just as cheap as they can get the customers to

The ultimate dirty bomb......

If I aligned every screw that I have ever had they would also end up in Asia..
Now they are beginning to point south , time for the big V.

A few weeks back there was a discussion regarding the tightening of hose
clamps and the alignment of the screw heads.

The other night, while laying on the bunk in the aft cabin of the GB,
watching the Sox on TV, I happened to notice the teak planking that lines
the bulkhead interior of the cabin.

I noticed the straight lines of the single slotted screws that hold the
planking and then realized that every screw head was perfectly aligned
horizontally. Jumping out of the bunk, I checked the other side, which is
more complex because the planking also forms a shelf above the port single
bunk, and sure enough, all the screw heads were perfectly aligned on that
side in the same manner.

Inspecting the forward, V-berth cabin and it's teak side planking revealed
the same attention to detail.

All in all, I counted over 250 stainless, single slotted screws that some
poor guy in Singapore tediously installed with every screw head in perfect
alignment.

That kind of old school craftsmanship and tradition is not found much
anymore.

Ahhh. Perhaps they learned how to index down at the Parker factory...

Particularly with Phillips heads- where you're never talking more than
1/4 turn to get a NSEW alignment of the slots.

I first learned about "indexing" screws here. I have given it some
thought. I am not impressed. I have done my share of woodwork
screwing, and made a couple attempts to "index."
I discarded it because a screw is best fastened consistently in wood
by feel. Agree it can be done more easily with a Phillips, but it is
also less evident cosmetically.
So I'll just come out and say it:
Indexing is a load of crap.
