Sea-Dog 299981-1 Straight Release Pin with Lanyard, 1/4 Inch, 304 Stainless Steel

The Sea-Dog 299981-1 is a straight release pin with an attached lanyard, designed for use with Bimini top hardware. The pin features a detent ball that allows for quick release when raising, lowering, or removing a Bimini top. It is built from formed 304 stainless steel, giving it strong resistance to marine corrosion and everyday exposure to sun, salt spray, and moisture.

This is the straight-pin version, sized at 1/4 inch in diameter with a 10 inch overall length. The attached lanyard keeps the pin tethered to the hardware fitting, reducing the risk of losing the pin overboard or misplacing it when the top is folded down. It is sold individually and is a simple, functional replacement part for boat owners maintaining or repairing existing Bimini top hardware.
