TACO Flat Deck Hinge w/Pin & Lanyard - Fits 7/8" Tube

The TACO Flat Deck Hinge with Pin & Lanyard is a marine-grade deck hinge engineered for reliable operation on small-to-mid-size boats and fishing vessels. Designed to fit 7/8-inch tubing, this hinge is built by TACO Marine, the recognized leader in marine hardware for recreational and professional boating applications. The removable pin and lanyard system ensures that deck components—hatches, covers, or removable rails—remain securely attached while allowing tool-free deployment when needed. This dual-security approach prevents accidental loss overboard in rough seas or during high-activity fishing operations.

The hinge comes offered in both concave and flat mount configurations, allowing installation flexibility depending on your deck geometry and mounting surface. The concave option suits curved or contoured deck structures common on center console and cabin cruiser designs, while the flat-mount variant works on standard horizontal surfaces. The secure fit with the removable pin prevents racking or play once installed, a critical feature when supporting moving deck loads or hatch covers in head-sea conditions. The lanyard attachment point adds redundancy for applications where component loss poses a safety or operational risk.

This hinge is ideal for boat owners and marine operators who prioritize hardware durability in saltwater environments and frequent-use scenarios. Whether you're rigging a sportfishing platform, securing console canvas, or installing removable safety railings on a working vessel, the 7/8-inch tube compatibility covers most standard marine tubing applications. The compact footprint (4 x 2 inches) minimizes deck clutter while delivering the load-bearing capacity expected from TACO Marine's design standard. Replacement or upgrade installations benefit from the industry-standard tubing size and straightforward pin-and-lanyard operation that requires no special tools.
