Spring Hinges?
- Thread starter L.R.
- Start date
Two other great place to buy boat parts are. Greatlakesskipper.com. and Jamestown distributors. I think I got mine from Great Lakes.
If you are talking about the black hinges that stay open, then they are detent hinges that are made by Southco. Just do a google search for Southco Detent hinges and you will be able to get them from numerous sources. I got a couple from Amazon with free shipping. Good luck!
Just getting around to this...Anyone have the correct part number for these? I'm getting confused looking at them,Different degrees of opening,,,C-6,etc....Thanks!
Although you can do a search for Grady White Electronics Box Hinges and find tons of info, the reality is that there are several model numbers of Southco C6 hinges to chose from. In general, the detent angle determines the model number. For example, the C6-23 has an 80 degree detent. ( it will also open all the way)
If you can and do keep the cover all the way open, the detent angle is less of an issue but if you need the cover to stay in a specific position, then selecting the exact model may be important.
So open the door to where it needs to stay and measure the angle as best you can. Then go to the Southco site to look up the appropriate model. From there you can search the web for the best deal. Note that Southco OEM hinges are a bit pricey but there are knockoffs out there for less. I prefer the original parts.
