Taylor Made Products Deck Hinge Side Mount, Chromed Zamak, Sold in Pairs

The Taylor Made Products Deck Hinge Side Mount (part number 1205) is a replacement mounting hinge for bimini top support poles, sold as a pair for outfitting both sides of the top. Each hinge is cast from chromed zamak, a zinc alloy blended with magnesium, aluminum, and copper, giving the hardware a bright silver finish and strong corrosion resistance for saltwater and freshwater environments alike. The hinge mounts flat to the boat sidewall using a face-mount design, and the included bolts secure the support pole eye end directly to the hinge body, allowing the bimini top pole to pivot smoothly for raising, lowering, and folding.

This deck hinge is intended as a direct replacement when an existing bimini top hinge is broken, worn, or has failed, restoring proper pole articulation without replacing the entire top or frame. Installation is straightforward: mount the hinge to the sidewall with fasteners, then attach the support pole eye end using the supplied hardware. Taylor Made Products manufactures this hinge in the USA and backs it with the fit and finish boaters expect from a purpose-built marine hardware supplier.
