Bimini Top Side-Mount Deck Hinge (commonly referred to as a side-mount plate or vertical canopy bracket). It is specifically engineered to anchor a boat's sunshade or dodger framework to a vertical surface rather than a flat, horizontal deck.
Key Specifications & Mechanics
Vertical Alignment: The central pyramid riser is sculpted to extend past the flat base plate. This design provides necessary clearance so that aluminum or stainless steel framework poles can clear the hull when mounted on vertical surfaces like cabin coamings, cockpit bulkheads, or inner gunwale walls.
The Locking Bolt Pin: It features a standard threaded slotted machine screw pin. This screw feeds directly through a canvas pole's eye-end terminal cap, locking the pole securely to the base while acting as a pivot point so the frame can hinge up and down.
Material: Investment-cast marine-grade 316 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, protecting the piece from aggressive corrosion and pitting in saltwater environments.
Dimensions: A standard standard side-mount base measures roughly 2 inches (50mm) long by 7/8 inches (22mm) wide. It features two recessed countersunk mounting holes spaced roughly 1-1/2 inches apart to receive standard #10 or #12 screws flat against the boat structure.
Are you looking to see if the hole spacing matches an existing footprint on your boat hull, or do you need a quick recommendation on the right marine sealant to use when screwing this into fiberglass?
