I found some hard nylon acorn nuts at the local hardware store. They matched the threads of the bolts from the handrails, turning blocks and hatch slides that protrude right where they would gouge your scalp. They go on after the metal nuts. Not soft, but will not cut you. Howard On 2/24/06 2:51 PM, "Tom Smith" <tsmith@nextit.com> wrote:

Don't know any other word for what I'm looking for. All us us have nuts/bolts protruding inside our boats. Has anyone ever heard of a soft cap (rubber, vinyl, etc) to fit various sized nuts/bolts? Gotta be out there somewhere. I've thought of the dab of silicon, but I don't like that alternative. I'm looking for a specific product. I've searched the internet without success so far... t
