Sea-Dog Nylon Slide Bracket 273660-1, 2-3/8 Inch Bimini Top Jaw Slide Mount, Pair

The Sea-Dog Slide Bracket 273660-1 is a gunnel-mount bracket fitting used in Bimini top fitting systems. It is designed to mount on the side of the boat's gunnel so that a matching jaw slide can snap onto it; the jaw slide then glides along the bracket and is adjusted and secured in place with a head screw. This bracket is sold as a pair and is built from UV resistant injection molded nylon, giving it resistance to sun exposure, salt spray, and general marine weathering without cracking or fading over time.

Installation is straightforward: each bracket mounts to the gunnel with two #8 flat head fasteners (fasteners are not included). Once mounted, the bracket provides the sliding track that lets the Bimini top jaw slide move fore and aft, making it easy to adjust the top's position and tension before locking it down with the head screw. The compact nylon construction keeps the fitting lightweight while still providing a secure, low-maintenance mounting point that will not corrode like metal hardware can in a marine environment.

This is a standard component within Sea-Dog's canvas top fitting lineup and is intended for use with a compatible jaw slide fitting to complete the sliding bracket assembly on a Bimini top.
