Built from durable plastic with a polished finish, this hinge provides the pivoting connection point that lets the bimini top frame fold down and lock into position while under way, then raise back up for shade and weather protection when needed. It is designed for tubing measuring 7\/8 inch in diameter, a common size used on bimini top bows and frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach unit includes the deck hinge body along with a mounting pin and a lanyard, so the pin can be removed to release the frame leg from the hinge without becoming a loose part that falls overboard or gets lost on deck. The hinge uses a door-mount style base, allowing it to be fastened flat to the deck for a low-profile installation. Measuring 5 inches in length by 4 inches in width, this fitting is sized for standard bimini top hardware setups on boats using 7\/8 inch tubing. The plastic construction resists corrosion in a marine environment, making it a practical, low-maintenance choice for deck-mounted bimini top hardware.\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 F13-0241\/244BN-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\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\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e No Color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Door Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches L x 4 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck hinge, pin, and lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 630838024017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tube size does the TACO Metals Flat Deck Hinge fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hinge, part number F13-0241\/244BN-1, is designed to fit 7\/8 inch diameter tubing, which is a common size for bimini top frame bows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with this deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each F13-0241\/244BN-1 deck hinge ships with the hinge body, a mounting pin, and a lanyard that keeps the pin attached when removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the lanyard for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The lanyard keeps the pin tethered to the hinge body when it is pulled out to release the bimini top frame leg, preventing the pin from being lost on deck or overboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the hinge made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The TACO Metals F13-0241\/244BN-1 deck hinge is made of plastic with a polished finish, which resists corrosion in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this hinge mounted to the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a door-mount style base and is fastened flat to the deck surface, making F13-0241\/244BN-1 a low-profile deck fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F13-0241\/244BN-1 hinge measures 5 inches in length by 4 inches in width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this deck hinge weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The TACO Metals Flat Deck Hinge weighs 0.21 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the TACO Metals Flat Deck Hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F13-0241\/244BN-1 hinge has no distinct color finish beyond its polished plastic construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the pin be removed to fold down the bimini top?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the pin on the F13-0241\/244BN-1 hinge is removable, allowing the bimini top frame leg to release from the hinge while the lanyard keeps the pin attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this hinge sold as a single unit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the TACO Metals F13-0241\/244BN-1 is sold as one complete hinge unit including the pin and lanyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the part number for this deck hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer part number is F13-0241\/244BN-1, made by TACO Metals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taco Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031443972315,"sku":"TAC-F13-0241-244BN-1","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51YjcA_A45L.jpg?v=1785214202","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taco-metals-flat-deck-hinge-with-pin-and-lanyard-fits-7-8-inch-bimini-top-tube","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
