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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e TACO Metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e F13-0242\/244BN-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concave Deck Hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHinge Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball and Socket, Concave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches long x 4 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.166 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 630838024024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the TACO Metals F13-0242\/244BN-1 deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e This deck hinge is sized for 7\/8 inch bimini top tubing, and measures 5 inches long by 4 inches wide overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this deck hinge made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F13-0242\/244BN-1 concave deck hinge is made from plastic with a polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this deck hinge come with a lanyard?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a lanyard is included with the F13-0242\/244BN-1 deck hinge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the F13-0242\/244BN-1 deck hinge weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.166 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this deck hinge mounted to a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a deck-mount hinge, attaching directly to the boat's deck surface as the anchor point for a bimini top leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 'concave' and 'ball and socket' mean for this deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F13-0242\/244BN-1 is built with a concave, ball-and-socket style base, distinguishing it from flat-mount deck hinge designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine TACO Metals part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the F13-0242\/244BN-1 is a genuine TACO Metals deck hinge, not a generic aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the F13-0242\/244BN-1 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many deck hinges are included when you order this listing?\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing includes one TACO Metals F13-0242\/244BN-1 deck hinge with lanyard (unit count of 1).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boat accessory is the F13-0242\/244BN-1 hinge used with?\u003c\/strong\u003e This concave deck hinge is used with bimini top hardware, providing the deck-side mounting point for a bimini top leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F13-0242\/244BN-1 measures 5 inches long by 4 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taco Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031443939547,"sku":"TAC-F13-0242-244BN-1","price":42.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61lXYnxk6rL.jpg?v=1785214202","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taco-metals-7-8-inch-concave-deck-hinge-with-lanyard-ball-and-socket-style-f13-0242-244bn-1","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
