Engine Cover Hinge

[Chavez1978]

Getting ready to put the engine cover back on the I/O. It was secured with a piano hinge. Wondering if anyone has seen other options. I always thought replacing it with a pin/sleeve design made much more sense for easier removal. Is there hardware for this purpose out there already designed that can be purchased?

Thank you in advance.

Ayuh,..... Many places carry split-able, removable hinges...

Or use No hinge at all, 'n just lift outa the way...

Yeah, I've done some searches on some boat parts stores. Figured I'd run across something but I haven't yet.

I got a set of these for mine, they seem to be real nice quality, have installed them but not used it. Cast Stainless Steel Hatch Motorbox Hinges CH3530 | eBay
