A worn snap on a boat cover can involve different parts on the canvas and the mounting surface. Sea-Dog's 299-series includes cap-and-socket sets, screw-mounted studs, two-screw turnbuckles and add-on extensions. Use the fastener type and exact screw or cap measurements to identify a suitable part rather than choosing by appearance alone.

Identify the part of the snap that needs replacement

Fabric-side cap and socket

299108-1 uses a 1/4-inch cap; 299109-1 uses 5/16 inch. Each is a cap-and-socket pairing rather than a screw-mounted stud.

Mounting-point studs

299111-1 is #8 × 3/8 inch; 299112-1 is #8 × 5/8 inch; 299113-1 is #10 × 5/8 inch. Check both gauge and length.

Special fasteners

299116-1 has a two-screw turnbuckle base. Black Add-A-Snap 299201B-1 and 299202B-1 have different extension dimensions.

Working on the canvas

299190-1 is an installation tool supplied with three removable dies. It is not intended for heavy-duty stainless canvas snaps.

Canvas snap part-number comparison

Part numbers identify different fastening designs. The reference quantities below describe Sea-Dog's catalog sets, not a verified quantity for every store product listing.

Sea-Dog MPN Component Key size or description Manufacturer reference
299108-1 Cap & socket 1/4-in cap; socket 6 caps and 6 sockets per manufacturer set

299113-1 Screw-on stud #10 sheet-metal screw × 5/8 in 6 studs per manufacturer set
299116-1 Snap turnbuckle Two-screw mounting base 2 per manufacturer set
299190-1 Installation tool Die wrench and 3 removable dies Aluminum/steel; not for heavy-duty stainless snaps
299201B-1 Add-A-Snap extension Black; drawing A 1-1/2 in; C 11/16 in Drawing B 1 in; nylon/nickel-plated brass
299202B-1 Add-A-Snap extension Black; drawing A 2-1/2 in; C 1-1/2 in Drawing B 1 in; nylon/nickel-plated brass

Why the cap and stud numbers differ

Black 299201B-1 has manufacturer drawing A/B/C dimensions of 1-1/2, 1 and 11/16 inches. Black 299202B-1 has A/B/C of 2-1/2, 1 and 1-1/2 inches. These letters refer to the manufacturer's own drawing labels, not interchangeable hole-cutout dimensions. Check the original fastener arrangement.

The 299190-1 setting tool is intended for compatible canvas snaps and is not recommended by Sea-Dog for heavy-duty stainless canvas fasteners.

How to check an old snap

  1. Check whether the missing or damaged piece is the cap-and-socket on the cover or a screw-mounted stud on the boat.
  2. Compare the cap height if replacing 299108-1 or 299109-1. Check both screw gauge and length for stud replacements.
  3. For black Add-A-Snap extenders, compare the manufacturer's A, B and C drawing measurements and the cover attachment before ordering.
  4. Review the current listing for the actual sales unit and contents. A manufacturer's catalog set quantity is not necessarily a store listing quantity.
