My buddy snapped my hinge off. Anyone have any idea where to find one of these? Thanks in advance for any help.

it looks like a Aluminum Piano hinge I just ordered one from our local Fastenal Store for a river jet drive boat project. I needed a 5 ft section they ordered it for me ( about $22.00) and had it for me in two days . Just bring the old one in and they will get one you one similar to it you may need to drill it to match. the boat holes.

You can get, and I would advise to get, a stainless piano hinge, over aluminum. The holes in the aluminum with stretch, deform, and the screws will loosen constantly. Tightening them numerous times will eventually lead to pulling the head of the screw through. Then you go to a bigger screw, and repeat.

Sainless will just last longer.
