Each hinge uses stainless steel construction with brass bearings, giving seating and cushion installations a controlled ratcheting action rather than a loose pivot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hinges lock in 15-degree increments starting at 30 degrees and ratchet through up to four positions, making them useful where a cushion or backrest needs several usable support angles. The pair is rated for a 250 lb-ft torque load in ABYC H-31 Class B applications, and the hinge geometry supports cushions up to 4 inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a 9-3\/8 inch length, 3 inch width, and .10 inch gauge, this set is sized for serious seating hardware rather than light cabinetry. The hinges return to the horizontal position at 100 degrees and are countersunk for #10 fasteners or 1\/4-20 bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair of 9-3\/8 inch Command Ratchet Hinges for marine sunpads, bolsters, and lounge backrests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatcheting action locks in 15-degree increments starting at 30 degrees, with up to four usable positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for a 250 lb-ft torque load per pair in ABYC H-31 Class B applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with cushions up to 4 inches thick, which helps when building or replacing upholstered deck seating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-brass bearings support smooth movement through repeated adjustment cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountersunk mounting holes accept #10 fasteners or 1\/4-20 bolts for secure installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturns to the horizontal position at 100 degrees for a clean stowed position when the cushion or backrest is laid flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year limited warranty for added confidence in long-term marine seating projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese hinges are a practical match for custom seating builds, refits, and replacement hardware where the backrest or sunpad needs to hold several angles without separate support arms. The countersunk mounting pattern suits through-bolting or screw fastening depending on the structure behind the upholstery and the load expected at the seating position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, confirm that the mounting surface has enough backing to handle the hinge load and that the cushion thickness, swing path, and stowed angle match the layout of the boat. On high-use seating, backing plates or reinforced mounting points help spread the load across the base structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hinge pair suits helm seating, cockpit lounges, aft sunpads, bow bolsters, and other upholstered areas where passengers need a repeatable reclining position. The ratcheting movement is especially useful on deck seating that gets adjusted often during cruising, fishing, or dockside lounging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polished finish also works well in visible seating areas where the hardware remains exposed. Regular freshwater rinsing and routine inspection of the fasteners will help keep the hinge action clean in saltwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTwo TACO Marine Command Ratchet Hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023079895221,"sku":"QBP692175","price":609.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331395_qbp692175.jpg?v=1780191680","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp692175","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
