Hi, i have a few headless toe rail bolts. Do anyone know the length of the bolts? I believe the size is 1/4 inch like the stanchion bolts.

Stanchion bolts are 1/4 inch and 2.25 inch long right?

While it was hard to see for sure, it looks like you're correct!

They are 1/4 " shoulder bolts. If your toe rail has been sanded down like mine there is not enough to get a bung in. If you deepen the hole with a fosner bit the shoulder bolt will not go in enough when the shoulder hits the plate in the deck flange.
The existing bolts are different length because of the overhang at the bow. I cut my non- shoulder bolts to length after deepening the bolt hole enough to get a good bung in. I have extra bolts if interested.
