TACO Metals 7/8 Inch Concave Deck Hinge with Lanyard, Ball and Socket Style, F13-0242/244BN-1

The TACO Metals F13-0242/244BN-1 is a 7/8 inch concave deck hinge built for mounting bimini top legs to a boat deck. It uses a ball-and-socket concave design, letting the bimini leg seat securely into the hinge base while the hardware manages the connection point where the top attaches to the deck. The hinge includes a lanyard as part of the assembly, and is molded from plastic with a polished finish for a clean look that resists the wear of sun and saltwater exposure typical of bimini top hardware.

This hinge is a deck-mount fitting, meaning it attaches directly to the boat's deck surface, and is sold as a single unit (1 count). At 5 inches long by 4 inches wide and weighing 0.166 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight piece of hardware sized to work with standard 7/8 inch bimini top tubing. Boat owners replacing worn, cracked, or missing deck hinges on their bimini top setup can use this part to restore a secure mounting point without replacing the entire bimini frame.
