Snap fasteners size?

[ONEGA]

I need to replace a few snaps on a boat cover and make a few custom length snap extensions.
Different sizes available right here on iBoats but how do I know what size snaps to order?
Can anybody tell me where to measure the snap to get the size?
Thanks.

I believe they are 22mm.

You mean these style snaps?

My recommendation would be to go with Marine snaps, what you provided are baby snaps. Try this website.

They also make the colored ones for canvas or carpet.

Yes, these are the snaps I need and they are available at quite a few places. Some places offer just a single size, some sell different sizes. My wild guess would be to measure the diameter of the barrel and go from there if nobody has an exact answer.
Thanks.

You want to get the stainless ones.

I have one of these to install mine. Pricey but well worth it.

They say "commonly used to fasten down boat covers" so I should be fine I guess.
The tool is nice to have too.
Thanks Bruce.
