Seachoice Nylon Head Screws & Quick Release Pins

Seachoice Nylon Head Screws & Quick Release Pins: Marine Hardware Built for the Water

When it comes to securing bimini tops, boat covers, and canvas hardware on the water, the small fasteners do some of the heaviest lifting. Seachoice, a brand with roots going back to 1988 as a specialist in marine hardware, brings the same engineering rigor to its nylon head screws and quick release pins as it does to its broader catalog of over 6,000 marine accessories. These are the components that hold your top in place through rough chop, salt spray, and season after season of UV exposure — and Seachoice designs them accordingly.

Stainless Steel Quick-Disconnect Release Pins

Seachoice’s flagship entry in this category is its Stainless Steel Quick-Disconnect Release Pin (Item# 50-75961), a tethered 1/4 in. pin constructed from stainless steel with an attached cable. Designed primarily for bimini top frames and mounting brackets, this pin allows boaters to quickly remove or reattach their canvas tops without reaching for a screwdriver. The tethered design means the pin stays with the hardware even when disconnected — eliminating the all-too-common problem of losing a small fastener overboard.

A key feature of Seachoice’s quick-release pins is their spring-ball retention mechanism, which helps prevent the pins from being inadvertently dislodged by vibration or wave action. This makes them a reliable choice for applications like attaching a bimini frame to windshield-mounted brackets, where a lost pin could leave a top unsecured at speed.

High-Impact Nylon Construction Where It Counts

Not every fastener on a boat needs to be metal. Seachoice’s nylon bimini top hardware — including jaw slides, eye ends, and square jaw slides — is manufactured from high-impact, super-tough nylon specifically chosen for its corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments alike. Available in both black and white colorways, these fittings are designed for 3/4 in. and 7/8 in. OD round tubing as well as 1 in. square tubing, making them compatible with a wide range of bimini and canvas top frames.

• Internal and external eye ends in nylon or 316 stainless steel for 1 in. OD square tubing
• Square jaw slides in nylon (white or black) for 3/4 in. and 7/8 in. OD round tube
• Stainless steel jaw slides in 316 SS for 7/8 in. and 1 in. OD tubing
• 1/4"-20 bolt and 1/4"-28 cup point set screw included with jaw slide hardware
• Rounded or square eye configurations available depending on application

Their nylon and stainless cover hardware fits this ethos perfectly — these are not premium-priced specialty items but practical, well-engineered replacements and upgrades that any boater can install without professional help.
