Bimini Top Ends

[Greg__Berger]

Looking for a little help identifying the proper replacement parts. The manufacturer's diagram shows the quick release but not the end that clips in, or the eye end that attaches to that. Here is a picture of the damaged parts that I'm looking to replace. Also, not sure how we did this near the end of our first season on the boat. Anyone have tips to prevent doing it again?

I am prevented that from happening to me by installing a Big Air Cuda tower and bimini. If you have problem finding replacement parts, let me know, I'll sell you everygthing I took off. I'll never go back...

Not sure on a SX but on the AR if you try to fold the bimini back to rest on the seat it will bend the bolts that hold it in place. I have to fold it towards the windshield when covering and trailering.

Ah yes, now that you mention that I think that's the problem we had. When folding down, we didn't notice that the ends were rotated in the quick disconnect so that it was more perpendicular to the poles and it then bent. I don't think our cover would fit on with the top folded forward. It fits just fine with it folded down.
