Sea-Dog 270210-1 90 Degree Deck Hinge with Removable Pin, 316 Stainless Steel, 3/4 Inch x 2-1/4 Inch Base

The Sea-Dog 270210-1 is a 90 degree deck hinge with a removable pin, built for mounting Bimini top fittings horizontally on a boat's deck or gunwale. It is part of Sea-Dog's Top Mount Hinge Fitting line, designed to attach an eye end fitting in Bimini top applications. Unlike a fixed-pin hinge, this version features a spring-loaded quick release pin, letting you remove the Bimini top eye end without tools whenever you want to take the top down for storage, trailering, or fast-moving conditions, then snap it back into place in seconds.

The hinge is investment cast from 316 stainless steel, giving it strong resistance to marine corrosion and salt spray exposure over repeated seasons on the water. The base measures 3/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch and uses a 1/4 inch removable pin. It installs with two #10 flat head fasteners, which are not included, so you will need to supply your own hardware sized to match the mounting holes. This hinge is intended for use with Bimini top eye end fittings and other deck hardware that require a removable, quick-release pivot point rather than a permanently pinned connection.
