Taylor Made Products External Eye End 7/8 Inch Black, Bimini Top Hardware (Pair) - 11707

The Taylor Made Products External Eye End (11707) is a 7/8 inch black nylon hardware piece used to connect bimini top poles to jaw slides or deck hinges. Sold as a pair, each eye end slides over the end of a bimini top pole and provides an attachment point that pivots at the jaw slide or deck hinge, allowing the top to fold and deploy smoothly. The nylon construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for continuous exposure to sun, salt water, and moisture without rusting or degrading like uncoated metal hardware. Installation is straightforward: the eye end slides over the pole end and is secured in place, requiring no special tools for a basic swap of worn or broken hardware. This eye end is sized for 7/8 inch diameter bimini top poles and is intended to pair with a jaw slide or deck hinge, which are sold separately. It is a commonly needed replacement part for boat owners maintaining or repairing bimini top frames, and the black finish matches the black anodized or powder-coated poles and hardware used on most bimini top systems.
