Much better than standard hardware, needed spacer underneath
I have a replacement bimini from PontoonStuff that's okay, but the mounting hardware they included was absolutely terrible. My bro-in-law's new boat had mounting hardware much like these, and I realized I could replace the hardware on mine.I spent time looking for these and finding some that were actually in stock. I happily installed, but you should be aware of two potential problems.Problem number one: these require spacing underneath them. Without spacing, the release mechanism gets pressed into the railing you're mounting them to, and you can't release the knob part. I added a flat washer for each bolt, and that problem disappeared.Problem number two: You'll also (probably) need to add (or replace) a fitting on the end of the bimini tubes, something with a flange shape that fits into the upper part (the part that releases). Even finding that part in the proper size for my square bimini tubes was a challenge. But to add to it, the thickness of the flanges on the parts I found was actually a smidge wide for these parts. So you may have to be creative to get everything to fit.In spite of that, I'm very pleased. It took longer and more trouble to install than I would have thought, given how simple, but that was simply a matter of sourcing parts that would work. When done, this is a much, much better mounting system, and I really like it.

Received an item from a different manufacturer.
I would not use these. They are not the same as the ones made by Accon marine. false advertising. The ones by accon support the quick release post with the stationary foot. The ones I received will just bang a 5/8" hole in the top of your gel coat as they just pass through. It would be nice if I could post a photo or three.

Way better than the cheap imitations on here
The casting of these is much more precise that other cheap versions. They only move in desired directions and do not rattle. Seems odd to almost pay as much for 4 of these as it was for the actual Bimini, but glad I did. Through bolted with #10 bolts. Very solid.

Better quality than the original and by the same manufacturer.
Great product. Direct replacement for my Chaparral’s original equipment Bimini top mounts. Great quality. Better quality than the original (which was manufactured by the same company.) The original had a nylon insert which wore over time. The new ones don’t and they have a great fit.

Awesome quality, after trying an returning some cheaper versions
Awesome quality, after trying an returning some cheaper versions, the Accon is worth the price if you want a wobble free, tight machining. When you pay half the price, you'll know why.
