Stainless Steel Swivel Ring Snap Hook with Screw Nut for Dog Leash

316 marine-grade stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to saltwater corrosion compared to standard 304. This ensures your deck hinge won't rust or pit, even in harsh ocean environments.

The pyramid base adds significant structural rigidity and strength to the hinge. Unlike flat bases that can bend under stress, this shape distributes load effectively, preventing deformation when securing heavy Bimini top frames.

This is specifically designed as a side mount deck hinge. It is intended to be screwed onto the vertical face of a gunwale, bulkhead, or T-top frame, allowing the Bimini pole to pivot freely while maintaining a secure connection point.

Yes, the hinge eye is sized to accommodate standard 1-inch (25mm) diameter tubing commonly used for Bimini tops and T-tops. Please verify your pole diameter before purchase to ensure a snug and secure fit without excessive play.

Installation requires drilling pilot holes and using marine-grade stainless steel screws (not included). We recommend using a backing plate inside the hull for added strength, especially if mounting on thin fiberglass or aluminum surfaces to prevent pull-out.
