He retired. Enough folks here have bought one from him, hopefully one can take to a trim shop and have another template made.

I purchased on last year with no issue
That's good to hear, I have had great luck with Partzilla. But they are very well known for listing every part in the Yamaha catalog, but you have no idea if they have it, or if they have to order it. And it is at that time that you find out there is a nationwide backlog of orders.

I had a Devil of a time trying to find one, but this was the only place that did have them in stock (and the right color that I wanted)

Can you post the link. I only see the brown one
I think for the 2011, that is all they have. I'm not sure the compatibility of the later models. For 2015+ there is tan, Black and Grey avail.

2010 and 2011 should be the same. 2012-2014 were a revised, tip down tower and the bimini changed. 2015 on should be another change.

I suggest you take what’s left of your current Bimini top to a local marine upholsterer and have them quote what they would charge you to make a replacement with varying grades of material. You may be surprised with the range of prices but suspect that they will all come in lower than the new stock price. You should also be able to choose your color as well as make medications/improvements to the original design for a small fee. For instance zippered bow slots so it’s easier to install and or remove from the frame or add a have a heavy duty zipper to the trailing edge for a Bimini extension.
