Bimini Top Eye End Cap. This essential piece of marine hardware serves as the pivoting connector at the end of stainless steel or aluminum tubing framework for boat Bimini tops, sunshades, and canopy structures.
Structural & Functional Overview
Eyelet Pivot Pin Hole: The flattened vertical tab features a precision-drilled eyelet hole. This links directly into a Bimini deck hinge or jaw slide, allowing the entire frame canopy to pivot, fold down, or erect smoothly.
Socket Sleeve & Grub Screw: The hollow cylindrical bottom acts as a sleeve cap that slides directly over standard marine tubing. It features an integrated hex socket grub screw (set screw) on the side to firmly pinch and lock the cap onto the frame pipe without requiring through-drilling.
Streamlined Dome Profile: Transitioning smoothly from the flat tab to the round socket, the domed shoulder design prevents water accumulation inside the tube and keeps lines or fabrics from snagging.
