    Bimini on tower

    Back to the issue of folding the Bimini top.. I am not much clearer after reading this string as to how to do it. Jet Blue mentioned that he would be taking some pictures of his procedure - I would really appreciate if you are able to do that !

    Does anyone understand this? it implies that invoices have to be paid by 30th Nov and then the price is discounted. So is that refund of the discount? Has anyone been invoiced? I haven't.

    Winterize?

    thanks for your thoughts Bob. At the moment i am only trying to get some alligator clips on to the battery to trickle charge it. There is only a hard plastic splash cover over the top of mine with a strap over the top to hold it down, once the strap is removed the starboard battery cover can be...
