Bo’sun is proud to offer these truly unique, latest generation of mechanical fittings for all your wire and rod needs.

RIGHT or LEFT HAND?
The "wire end" of a turnbuckle is usually right hand thread., That is, it is threaded regular and screws in clockwise (to the right). The "deck end" is usually left hand thread and screws in counter-clockwise (to the left).

Click words below or use pull down menu in upper right of screen for more info.   Wing &  Turnbuckle Nuts

FINE vs. COURSE THREAD
Most marine turnbuckles are fine thread (UNF). Not sure if you have Fine of course (UNC) threads? The table to the right shows some common stud sizes with the number of threads per inch. Example: A 1/4" course thread stud (UNC) has 20 threads per inch. The 1/4" fine thread stud (UNF) has 28 per inch.
