Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: 3000B
Stainless Steel
The Whitecap Marine Products Replacement Bolt for All Nylon Deck Hinges (SKU: 3000B) is a precision-engineered spare part designed specifically as a direct replacement for the original pivot or hinge bolt used in various Whitecap nylon deck hinges. It features a 3/16" diameter x 5" length threaded shank (with machine threading along the extended portion for secure fastening), topped by a rounded, slotted (flat-head/slotted drive) button or dome-style head for smooth operation and a clean appearance. The entire bolt is constructed from high-quality stainless steel (likely 316-grade or equivalent marine-grade SS, as is standard for Whitecap's corrosion-resistant hardware), providing excellent resistance to rust, pitting, and degradation in saltwater, freshwater, UV exposure, and harsh marine environments.
This bolt serves as the critical pivot pin/axle that allows the hinge to articulate smoothly, connecting the moving strap/leaf of the hinge to its base while enabling opening, closing, or sliding motion depending on the specific nylon deck hinge model.
Key Functions and Uses
This part emphasizes durability and corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for both freshwater and saltwater boating environments. Installation typically involves threading it through the hinge components and securing it (often with a nut or by threading into the opposing side, depending on the hinge design). Always confirm compatibility with your specific hinge model for best results.

Key Functions and Uses
- Primary function - Acts as the pivot bolt/pin in nylon deck hinges, allowing rotational or sliding movement between the hinge components for reliable operation.
- Replacement/repair - Ideal for replacing a lost, corroded, bent, worn, stripped, or broken original bolt in Whitecap nylon deck hinges to restore full functionality and prevent hinge failure.
- Marine deck applications - Commonly used on boat deck hatches, storage compartments, livewell lids, cooler covers, seat hatches, engine covers, or access panels where a low-profile, durable nylon hinge is installed for lightweight, non-corrosive performance.
- Side-mount or sliding deck hinges - Frequently pairs with models like Whitecap's side-mount/sliding nylon deck hinges (e.g., those specifying 3/16" x 5" bolt compatibility), enabling smooth sliding or pivoting action for flush or semi-flush lid operation.
- Angled or straight configurations - Compatible across various Whitecap nylon deck hinge styles (straight base, angled base, etc.), as it's marketed for "all nylon deck hinges" in their lineup.
- Maintenance and upgrades - Used during routine boat maintenance to upgrade from a potentially lower-grade or worn factory bolt to this stainless steel version for longer service life in exposed saltwater conditions.
- General marine hardware - While specialized for Whitecap nylon hinges, its dimensions and material make it adaptable for similar custom or DIY marine/boat hinge repairs where a 3/16" x 5" stainless slotted bolt is required.
