I’m having a hard time visualizing these clips for drying towels. Do you have a pic of that? Any idea if it would work on the big bimini frame on the 242 SE/X boats?Bruce, Look at the Bimini Pole Clips. For our 230 it's a great addition to our bimini top. Fits the Yamaha with the dimensions.
22mm Bimini Hood Clip by dansto
An clip to hold the frame of the hood together when not extended on my boat (Four Winns Vista 298) - original on one side obviously ended up in the drink at some point. Was fun removing the inner geometry, i'm a bit of a Sketchup newb... I copied the OEM part but changed it a little...www.thingiverse.com
(I've scaled them up for my inlaw with a Larson boat that had larger diameter tubing in his bimini with good results, so they can be adjusted for other diameters by scaling.)
and I've printed these to dry towels attaching them to the top
Yamaha Bimini Clip by MAdoubleT
I've not been able to test this on a windy day and you may want to play with scaling a bit to get the correct clamping pressure on your prints.www.thingiverse.com
It's pretty awesome where the imagination is the current limitation on what you can print.
Those clips hold the poles together for storage.I’m having a hard time visualizing these clips for drying towels. Do you have a pic of that? Any idea if it would work on the big bimini frame on the 242 SE/X boats?
You may be the first to try them on a LS2000 but I believe the steering parts are the same.Hi Bruce,
I just ordered a set on PayPal. I have the LS2000. These bushings are the same size for the steering on her correct?

Was the additional length an issue? Did it stick out of the bottom of the steering fork?Have you sold any to anyone with a ar190?
I received mine today and installed but I had to cut them down they were too long. No big deal, easy fix for me but maybe revise them?
or did I do something wrong that I’m missing...?? Attached is the factory (white) and yours. And they fit more snug than factory for sure.
Now it makes sense.Yeah I could only utilize one. I’ll take a pic tomorrow. If I didn’t cut it down, both would not fit (one top and bottom).
Ahh ok. Yeah factory there was a top and bottom, both with 1 flanged end like yours. It did fit all the way through with one, but there was potential for metal on metal rub on the bottom due to no flange.Now it makes sense.
Did the factory supply top and bottom pieces? I only put the flange at top and do not bother with a flange at the bottom. The steering fork rests on the top flange but contact with the bottom should be rare. I send four so you have spares.
As long as the steering feels good to you what you have done is fine.
