Unlike fixed-angle deck hinges, this adjustable design lets the fitting pivot through a full 180 degree range, making it the right choice for slanted gunwales, curved decks, or any surface where a standard concave or angled hinge will not sit flush. It is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to saltwater corrosion, so it holds up to long-term marine exposure without rusting or pitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hinge has a base footprint of 1 inch by 2-3\/4 inches and uses a 1\/4 inch pin. It installs with two #10 flat head fasteners, which are not included, so have a matching pair of corrosion-resistant flat head screws on hand before mounting. The fitting is designed to work with Bimini top eye ends and other top mount hinge fittings in a boat's canvas and rail hardware system, giving installers flexibility when the mounting surface is not flat.\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 270260-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 Degree Adjustable Angle Deck Hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 Stainless Steel (Investment Cast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch x 2-3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fastener:\u003c\/strong\u003e #10 Flat Head Screws (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck \/ Surface Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514270687\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 270260-1 deck hinge used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a 180 degree adjustable angle deck hinge used to mount Bimini top eye ends and other rail hardware, especially on surfaces that are not flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this hinge mount vertically?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
