It uses a ball and socket design that offers greater rotation than a fixed eye end, letting the bimini top frame pivot and align smoothly as the top is raised, lowered, or adjusted. The fitting is made from marine grade 316 stainless steel with a polished finish, giving it strong resistance to saltwater corrosion and a clean, matched appearance alongside other stainless boat hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eye end is designed for horizontal mount applications and is built for quick and easy installation and removal, making it a practical choice when setting up a new bimini top support system or replacing a worn or damaged eye end on an existing one. The 7\/8 inch ball size is intended to pair with mating external eye end hardware of the same size. At 0.25 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight piece of deck hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11751\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 Inch Ball External Eye End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316 Stainless Steel, polished finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch (0.88 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.88 inches L x 1.5 inches H x 1.88 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011953650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Taylor Made Products 11751 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a 7\/8 inch Ball External Eye End used to mount bimini top hardware to a boat, using a ball and socket design that allows greater rotation as the top is raised, lowered, or adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the ball on part 11751?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ball measures 7\/8 inch (0.88 inches) in diameter, sized to mate with corresponding external eye end hardware of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 11751 eye end made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from marine grade 316 stainless steel with a polished finish, chosen for resistance to saltwater corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 11751 fitting designed for a specific mounting orientation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Taylor Made Products 11751 is designed for horizontal mount applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 11751 ball external eye end weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.25 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions for part 11751?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Products 11751 ships in a package measuring 4.88 inches long by 1.5 inches high by 1.88 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs installation of the 11751 eye end difficult?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the ball and socket system on the 11751 is designed to allow quick and easy installation and removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the Taylor Made Products 11751 manufactured?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its country of origin is Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the 11751 ball external eye end?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this Taylor Made Products part is 040011953650.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ball and socket design offer any advantage over a fixed eye end?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ball and socket design of the 11751 offers greater rotation than a fixed eye end, which helps the bimini top frame pivot and align as it is adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the 11751?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 11751 is supplied as a single 7\/8 inch Ball External Eye End fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 11751 finish suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, its 316 stainless steel construction with a polished finish is intended to hold up to saltwater exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor Made Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989666541787,"sku":"NAT-11751","price":49.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/nat-11751_lg__99454.1558175270.500.750.jpg?v=1785188623","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taylor-made-11751-7-8-ball-external-eye-end-316-stainless-steel-bimini-top-deck-fitting","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
