Sea-Dog 270235-1 10-Degree Angle Base Deck Hinge with Removable Pin, 316 Stainless Steel, 10-Pack

The Sea-Dog 270235-1 is a 10-degree angle base deck hinge built for mounting Bimini top eye ends and similar fittings to sloped gunwales and other slanted surfaces. The built-in angled base compensates for the slope of the mounting surface so the attached fitting sits correctly, which is why it is used specifically for slanted-surface applications rather than flat-deck mounting.

This version features a removable pin: a spring-loaded quick release pin lets you pull the pin and lift the hinge apart in seconds, so you can take the Bimini top down for storage, trailering, or dockside without unbolting the base hardware from the boat. The pin size is 1/4 inch and the hinge base measures 3/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch.

The hinge is investment cast from corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel, the marine-grade alloy used throughout Sea-Dog's rail fitting line for long-term resistance to saltwater corrosion. It installs with two flat head fasteners, sized for a #10 screw (fasteners are not included). Each unit ships as one hinge, sold in a pack of 10.
