Material advantage of stainless steel AISI 316 (A4)

AISI 316 stainless steel (also known as A4 or V4A) contains molybdenum, offering significantly higher corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel. Since both the base and the mounting are made of AISI 316, this convertible top hinge provides maximum durability for:

• Continuous saltwater contact
• Aggressive marine environments
• Long-term outdoor applications without maintenance
• Professional boat and yacht equipment
• Areas with frequent movement and high stress

High-quality finish

Raised design: The tall design allows for a higher mounting position of the convertible top frame. This is particularly useful for special designs or when more clearance to the deck is required.

Stable construction: Despite the raised design, the convertible top hinge offers maximum stability thanks to its complete manufacture from AISI 316 stainless steel.

Explanations

EK95018 - With ball lock pin: Version with ball lock pin for quick connection and release without tools. Fork width 8 mm for larger grips.

Assembly and use
