Product Details

The C. Sherman Johnson 48580 is a premium hinged pad eye designed for awnings, bimini tops, dodgers, and numerous other marine tie-down applications. Constructed from high-quality 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments.

Key Features:

  • 316 stainless steel D-ring construction for superior corrosion resistance
  • Hinged design folds flat when not in use for a low-profile appearance
  • Flexible eye gives with load, reducing stress on fasteners and mounting surface
  • Built-in friction drag keeps the eye positioned and prevents rattling
  • 1/4 inch fastener size for secure mounting
  • Ideal for canvas work, lifelines, safety equipment, and deck hardware

Unlike rigid pad eyes that create concentrated stress points, this hinged design flexes with the load to distribute forces more evenly. The friction hinge mechanism ensures the D-ring stays where you position it while remaining rattle-free underway. When not needed, the ring folds completely flat against the mounting surface for clean deck appearance and reduced snag hazards.

Easy navigation and checkout.

I received my Corsa exhaust for my Sequoia today; I had issues with Autoplicity with regard to the order/availability which once brought to their attention was rectified; in the end I had to wait a little longer than expected to receive my order but it was resolved and hopefully the management learned something from this experience.
