Well we just got down to Cape Coral, looks like my bimini top didn't fare so well. Everything else looks OK though. So in case you were wondering, the tops aren't rated for 80 kt winds.

Is this something I can just order from Yamaha, or the dealer?
 
Lol on 80mph winds, at least your humor is still there. Sorry this happened and hope it's an easy fix/replacement.

If the frame isn't messed up. I would have one made out of sunbrella. I think it would be better material too. That's what I'm doing this winter.

The original tops are gonna available to order online or the dealer

I believe your part is the first one for 917
 
I'm having one made next month, and they are putting zippers in all of the pockets so I can easily take it off of the frame if need be. Good luck, Glad to see you didn't have more problems than the bimini. :sorry:
 
Yes, I'm doing a sunbrella Bimini this winter also. Plus adding zippers all around for side shades.

That would be about right. When my wife asked what are we going to name our boat I told her we were going to name it Break Out Another Thousand.

Seriously, doesn't Yamaha sell these things?
