The concave base is shaped to rail mount on 1 inch tubing, giving a secure, flush fit against curved rail surfaces. Unlike a fixed-pin hinge, this version uses a spring loaded quick release pin so the top can be removed and reattached in seconds without tools, which is useful for storage, trailering, or quick access to the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hinge is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments. The base measures 3\/4 inch by 2-1\/4 inch and uses a 1\/4 inch diameter pin. It installs with two #10 flat head fasteners, which are not included, so the mounting hardware should be sourced separately based on the mounting surface. This hinge is part of Sea-Dog's Side Mount Hinge Fittings line used across Bimini top and canvas hardware applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270245-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concave Base Deck Hinge (Removable Pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Investment cast 316 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch x 2-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e #10 flat head (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rail mount, fits 1 inch tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfinished stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.236 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514270151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 270245-1 and a fixed-pin deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270245-1 uses a spring loaded, removable pin that lets the Bimini top be released and taken off quickly without tools, while a fixed-pin concave deck hinge of the same base size does not offer that quick release feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size pin does this deck hinge use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 270245-1 uses a 1\/4 inch diameter pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the deck hinge made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of investment cast 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in marine and saltwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the base dimensions of the 270245-1 hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The base measures 3\/4 inch by 2-1\/4 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 270245-1 come with mounting screws?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, it installs with two #10 flat head fasteners that are not included, so screws need to be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this deck hinge used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed to mount horizontally and attach an eye end for Bimini top applications, with a concave base that rail mounts on 1 inch tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 270245-1 deck hinge weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.236 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 270245-1 be used on angled or sloped surfaces?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, this concave base hinge is designed for rail mounting on 1 inch tubing; angled surfaces like sloped gunwales require Sea-Dog's angle base hinges, which are separate part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pin on this hinge removable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 270245-1 features a spring loaded quick release pin so the Bimini top can be removed easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the 270245-1 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has an unfinished stainless steel finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sea-Dog 270245-1 deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC is 035514270151.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988555575515,"sku":"S-D-270245-1","price":16.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/7882_9a1fc195-5658-49b0-bd3d-e7573fd2a694.jpg?v=1784423115","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-1-concave-base-deck-hinge-with-removable-pin-316-stainless-steel-rail-mount-for-1-bimini-top-tubing-270245-1","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
