Hey fellas --

Just like the title says, the fabric for the bimini on the new-to-me 2015 242 Limited S I just got is torn to shreds -- so I need just the fabric; the Yamaha OEM one is backordered until early August and it seems like everyone online just drop ships from there.

Anyone got a line on an aftermarket product that fits? I've googled my face off and tried to find old threads here to no avail.

Trying to avoid having to deal with a canvas shop locally, hoping to just find something off the shelf.

Thanks in advance.

Doug

Don't have a bead on OEM fabric but I was just looking at mine. It's getting pretty warn. If I replace it it will be after this season. I will have a canvas shop use my old one as a template and have them use Sunbrella fabric.

I'm 99% sure this is it. I ordered this in 2014 for my cover to patch it, and it was an exact match.

I'm sorry, i'm not sure what the bimini top is made of. I thought you mean the oem cover.

I have a 2008 but when I needed fabric I looked high and low for a really long time. A local canvas shop quoted me $1300 for a custom Sunbrella replacement canvas (...and $3500 for a custom Sunbrella mooring cover) so I wound up just ordering OEM. I know this doesn't solve your backorder problem but I could not find a reasonable replacement anywhere. I almost just replaced the entire thing with aftermarket it was so frustrating (also probably not an option for you with the tower).
