Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: 6222
316 Stainless Steel
This hinge features an angled base (typically around 80-90 degrees, based on similar Whitecap and marine industry designs for angle-base hinges), allowing it to mount securely on slanted or inclined surfaces rather than flat horizontal ones. The base is constructed from high-quality 316 stainless steel, a premium marine-grade material known for excellent resistance to rust, pitting, and corrosion in saltwater and harsh weather conditions.
Key specifications from product listings and matching details include:
The design includes a pivoting joint that accepts a 1/4"-20 bolt, enabling smooth articulation while maintaining strength.
Functions and Uses
This type of angled deck hinge serves as a mounting point for attaching removable or pivoting structures on a boat's deck or gunwale. Its primary function is to provide a secure, hinged connection that allows for easy installation, adjustment, removal, or folding of accessories, while accommodating angled mounting surfaces.
Common applications in marine settings include:
The angled design makes it ideal for boats with non-flat deck geometry, preventing misalignment or undue strain on the structure. It supports quick-release functionality (via the removable pin) for seasonal storage, trailering, or maintenance-simply remove the pin to detach the upper frame or tubing. Overall, it's built for reliability in freshwater and saltwater use, emphasizing ease of use, strength, and longevity in demanding marine conditions. If you're installing it, ensure compatible 1/4"-20 eye ends or fittings for the bolt connection.

The base is constructed from high-quality 316 stainless steel, a premium marine-grade material known for excellent resistance to rust, pitting, and corrosion in saltwater and harsh weather conditions.
Key specifications from product listings and matching details include:
- Base size: Commonly 7/8" x 2" (or similar variations like 3/4" x 2-1/4" in closely related models).
- Bolt size: 1/4"-20 threaded bolt (the pin/bolt that connects to the hinged component, such as an eye end or tubing fitting).
- Fasteners: Requires two #10 screws (countersunk holes for flush mounting; fasteners typically sold separately).
- Weight: Approximately 2.0 oz (lightweight yet robust for its size).
- Pin type: Often includes a removable pin (flat head or similar), which may be spring-loaded in related variants for quick release and easier removal of attached tops or frames.
- Finish: Polished stainless steel for enhanced appearance and additional corrosion protection.

Functions and Uses
This type of angled deck hinge serves as a mounting point for attaching removable or pivoting structures on a boat's deck or gunwale. Its primary function is to provide a secure, hinged connection that allows for easy installation, adjustment, removal, or folding of accessories, while accommodating angled mounting surfaces.
Common applications in marine settings include:
- Bimini tops and canopies: Frequently used to secure the base of Bimini frames or similar fabric tops to the boat deck. The angle compensates for sloped surfaces (e.g., angled gunwales or deck cambers), ensuring the frame stands upright or at the desired orientation without stress on the fittings.
- Dodgers, enclosures, or spray hoods: Supports folding or removable protective covers that need to pivot or detach quickly.
- Other topside fittings: Mounting brackets for small frames, handrails, or light accessories on inclined surfaces where a flat-base hinge would not align properly.
- General marine hinging needs: In situations requiring a low-profile, heavy-duty hinge for hatches, panels, or covers on slanted areas, though it is most associated with top-mount applications like bimini hardware.
The angled design makes it ideal for boats with non-flat deck geometry, preventing misalignment or undue strain on the structure. It supports quick-release functionality (via the removable pin) for seasonal storage, trailering, or maintenance-simply remove the pin to detach the upper frame or tubing.

If you're installing it, ensure compatible 1/4"-20 eye ends or fittings for the bolt connection.
NOTE: The difference between packaged and not packaged items is that a packaged item has a card with either a plastic encasing (blister) or a polybag usually for displaying purposes.
