It is molded from UV resistant nylon and threads into the jaw slide, where tightening it locks the slide in place along the mounting bracket after you have positioned the Bimini top frame where you want it. Loosening the screw lets the jaw slide glide freely along the bracket for repositioning, so you can fine-tune the angle and tension of your Bimini top canopy without removing any hardware from the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard 1\/4-28 fully threaded machine screw with a flat head, measuring 1-3\/8 inches in overall length. It is molded in black nylon to match Sea-Dog's Jaw Slide and Bracket Fitting line and is sold as a pair. Because it is a nylon component rather than metal, it resists corrosion and UV degradation from long-term sun and saltwater exposure, which is important for hardware that stays exposed on deck. The 273568-1 head screw is a replacement or spare part for boat owners maintaining an existing Sea-Dog jaw slide bracket system, letting you replace a stripped, cracked, or lost screw without buying a whole new slide and bracket set.\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 273568-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Head Screw (Bimini Top Jaw Slide Fitting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Injection Molded Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch-28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.088 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits Sea-Dog Jaw Slide and Bracket Mount Fitting hardware (part numbers 273565-1 and 273660-1 \/ 273665-1) used in Bimini top mounting systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 273568-1 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the head screw that tightens a Sea-Dog Jaw Slide onto its mounting bracket in a Bimini top fitting system, locking the slide in position once the top frame is adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is the 273568-1 head screw?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 273568-1 is a 1\/4 inch-28 fully threaded machine screw with a flat head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Sea-Dog 273568-1 head screw?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 1-3\/8 inches in overall length and 0.25 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 273568-1 head screw made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from black, UV resistant injection molded nylon, matching the rest of Sea-Dog's Jaw Slide and Bracket Fitting hardware line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many screws come in a pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 273568-1 is sold as a pair, since a Bimini top jaw slide fitting typically uses one screw per mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this screw work with any Bimini top bracket, or only Sea-Dog's?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 273568-1 is designed specifically for Sea-Dog's Jaw Slide (273565-1) and Slide Bracket (273660-1 \/ 273665-1) fittings and is sized to match that hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 273568-1 head screw corrosion resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because it is nylon rather than metal, the 273568-1 will not rust or corrode from saltwater or marine air exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the 273568-1 to replace a lost or stripped jaw slide screw?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is intended as a replacement part for boat owners who need to re-tighten or replace the screw on an existing Sea-Dog jaw slide bracket without buying a whole new fitting set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sea-Dog 273568-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is black nylon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 273568-1 require any special tools to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e No special tools are required; the head screw threads directly into the jaw slide and is turned by hand or with a standard screwdriver depending on the head drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 273568-1 head screw fully threaded?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 1\/4 inch-28 screw is fully threaded along its 1-3\/8 inch length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988559900891,"sku":"S-D-273568-1","price":2.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/3955_b80dae94-45fc-41fd-8b1d-f60a75896e12.jpg?v=1784423175","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-273568-1-nylon-head-screw-for-bimini-top-jaw-slide-bracket-1-4-28-pair","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
