It is the sliding half of a bimini joint. The socket rides along a track or tube and the swivel ball jaw takes the frame leg, so the canopy can fold and the pivot point can move. Pair it with a matching deck hinge at the other end.
No. The jaw is cut for 25mm frame tube and anything narrower rattles about until the pin wears through. Tube sold as an imperial size can measure a fraction over or under, so check yours with calipers rather than trusting the label on the roll.
Salt crystals in the track are what jam a slide socket, not corrosion of the fitting. Flush the track with fresh water when you rinse the boat, run the socket back and forth to clear it, and keep the ball joint lightly greased so it swivels rather than grinds.
