Product Overview
Marine Hardware Bimini Tops Deck Hinge – Stainless Steel
RICHWITS ZB1411 deck hinge is the rock-solid, invisible link between your bimini frame and the boat.
Investment-cast from solid 316 stainless steel, mirror-polished to 400 grit and then electropolished, it delivers lifetime immunity to salt-water pitting and a yacht-quality shine.
The low-profile body (only 17 mm high) keeps decks snag-free, while the 34 mm base spreads load across 2 × M6 fasteners for 150 kgf SWL—perfect for biminis, dodgers, spray-hoods or flag-pole sockets.
