Different point of view here. We usually open the bimini and leave open when using the boat. We had a manual version that I replaced with an aftermarket powered version. Installed by myself. Slightly smaller coverage area , but we would never go back to manual. Too convenient to just hit a buttton !

My Malibu wakeboat has a ratcheting cover. Ratchets do make make the covering process faster, but I agree, the guys in this video didn't make it look like it ! :)

If I remember correctly, there are only 2 wires. Power and ground. Not mush of a harness. Pull 2 new wires through the frame, cut,splice,solder,heat shrink, and you're done.

Lot's of aftermarket covers available. I customized mine several times so far. I have a 2007 ! Sorry I don't have a link for you................................
