Built for 7\/8-inch round tube with a 1\/4-inch pin, and the bolt's included. Stainless steel, so salt and sun don't win. Sold as a single piece for a new build or a repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sea-Dog Top Slide is one of those small stainless fittings that quietly holds your bimini or canopy frame together. It's built for 7\/8-inch round tube, takes a 1\/4-inch pin, and comes with the bolt you need to fasten it down. Made from stainless steel, so it lives outside in salt and sun without rusting up on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the hinged style, sold as a single piece. If you're building a top frame from scratch or repairing one where a slide has seized or corroded, this is the part that lets the frame pivot and fold. Match it to your existing 7\/8-inch tubing and 1\/4-inch pin hardware and it drops right in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho needs one? Anyone running a bimini top, a folding canopy, or a T-top frame built on 7\/8-inch tube. Slides like this take a beating. They flex every time you raise or lower the top, and the cheap plated ones pit and freeze after a couple seasons. Stainless holds up. That's the whole point of paying a little more up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick note on fit. Marine canvas hardware isn't fully universal, so measure your tube before ordering. This one is for 7\/8-inch round tube with a 1\/4-inch pin. If your frame runs a different tube diameter or pin size, it won't seat right. Not sure what you've got? Send us a photo and a couple measurements and we'll tell you if this is your part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe keep the common Sea-Dog top hardware on the shelf because these are the pieces that strand a top mid-season. One frozen slide and the top won't fold, or worse, it won't stand up. Keeping a spare in the console isn't a bad idea if you run your boat hard. And when you install it, a dab of anti-seize on the pin and bolt goes a long way. It keeps the stainless from galling and saves you a fight the next time you need to take the fitting apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 7\/8-inch round tube, the common bimini and canopy frame size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch pin size to match standard marine top hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists salt corrosion and UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHinged design lets the top frame pivot and fold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt included for direct fastening, no extra hardware to source\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single piece for building or repairing a top frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat tube size does this top slide fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's made for 7\/8-inch round tube with a 1\/4-inch pin.
