Attwood Marine Nylon Head Screws & Quick Release Pins
Attwood Marine Nylon Head Screws & Quick Release Pins
When it comes to keeping a bimini top, boat cover, or canvas enclosure properly secured and easy to adjust on the water, the hardware holding it all together matters more than most boaters realize. Attwood Marine has been a trusted name in marine hardware for over 100 years, and their approach to small-but-critical fastening hardware — including nylon head screws and quick release pins — reflects the same engineering discipline that defines their broader product line.
The Right Pin for Bimini Top Hardware
Attwood’s flagship product in this category is the Tethered 1/4” Spring-Loaded Clevis Pin (Model 66202-3). This stainless steel clevis pin is specifically designed for use with deck- or rail-mounted bimini top hinge fittings that require a removable 1/4” spring-loaded clevis pin. What sets it apart from a bare pin is its included nylon-covered stainless steel lanyard — a practical detail that prevents the pin from being lost overboard during setup or adjustment, a common frustration on the water.
The combination of a stainless steel body and a protective nylon lanyard cover addresses the two most demanding challenges in marine hardware: corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments, and user-friendly handling even in wet or cold conditions. For boaters who regularly raise and lower their bimini tops or swap canvas configurations, a tethered quick-release pin dramatically simplifies the process.
Why Attwood Marine Hardware Stands Out
Attwood’s longevity in the marine industry isn’t accidental. As part of the Navico Group by Brunswick, Attwood designs and tests its products to meet the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE standards. Even for a component as seemingly simple as a clevis pin, that commitment to rigorous standards means boaters can trust the hardware to perform reliably under real on-the-water conditions — UV exposure, constant vibration, repeated use, and saltwater spray included.
- Stainless steel construction for long-term corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater
- Nylon-covered lanyard keeps the pin tethered and prevents loss during on-water adjustments
- Spring-loaded design for fast, tool-free installation and removal from bimini top hinge fittings
- 1/4” diameter fits standard deck- and rail-mounted bimini top hardware
- Sold as a pair, making replacement and stocking straightforward
Part of a Broader Canvas & Cover Hardware Ecosystem
Nylon head screws and quick release pins are a small but essential part of a larger system of cover and top hardware. Whether you’re replacing a worn pin, completing a bimini top installation, or simply keeping a spare on board, Attwood’s hardware is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard marine canvas fittings.
