Seachoice Tethered Quick-Release Stainless Steel Pins, 1/4 in. — Pair
Stop losing your release pins overboard. Seachoice's tethered quick-disconnect pins combine a drop-pin locking design with a cable lanyard that keeps each pin attached to the fitting when not in use — so they’re always exactly where you need them. Sold as a pair, these are the standard replacement for deck and rail-mounted bimini top hinge fittings.
Key Features
- Tethered cable lanyard — pin hangs freely from the fitting when removed; won’t fall overboard or get lost in the bilge
- Pull-ring for easy one-hand removal — quick to release even with wet or gloved hands
- Drop-pin locking design — locks the fitting securely in place under load; releases instantly when needed
- Heavy-duty 316 stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant in saltwater and freshwater environments
- 1/4 in. diameter — fits standard bimini top hinge fittings and most deck-mount hardware with 1/4 in. pin holes
- Sold in pairs — replaces both pins on a standard two-point bimini hinge setup in one purchase
Best Use Cases
- Replacing lost or corroded pins on deck and rail-mounted bimini top hinge fittings
- Upgrading standard push-pin hardware to a tethered design to prevent loss
- Any 1/4 in. drop-pin application on canvas frames, rod holders, or removable deck hardware
Parts Desk Insights
These are one of the most frequently replaced small hardware items on boats with bimini tops — pins get dropped, corrode, or simply walk off. The tethered design is a meaningful upgrade over a plain pin because it eliminates the loss problem entirely; once installed, the pin is always attached to the fitting. The pull-ring makes them noticeably easier to operate than a standard pin, especially single-handed. Sold as a pair, they cover both hinge points on a standard bimini setup in one shot. If a customer is replacing pins, it’s worth checking whether the hinge fittings themselves show corrosion or wear — a pin replacement is easy, but a failed fitting mid-season is not.
