Is there any cost savings by ordering through Tumac, as opposed to a dealer?

Nice, thanks!

I did not see a response to your question about install, did you get yours installed correctly? If so, can you post pictures? Dealer just sent my mine, but did not send the piece that goes on the bottom of the gate or any of the mounting hardware or screws.

I cannot speak to the Sharkhide, but since trying this product, I now use it on all of my vehicles, including my boat and motorcycle. Amazing stuff and even use it on plastic trim, headlights, chrome etc. Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic...

Yeah, covers have gotten crazy expensive. I just added a front Bimini and priced a new playpen cover from the dealer, right at $2,000. I had a local canvass shop modify my existing cover for $250.

Think I am going to call my dealer to order one of these before boating weather gets here.

My boat is on a trailer, under a carport, but I also bought a longer Vortex cover that fits over the front and rear decks and provides pretty decent side panel coverage as well. In the summer, I just use the playpen cover.

surprised to see the snaps. I personally prefer the clean look of the clips, especially on a boat with the blackout package.

I just installed my front Bimini with pins this weekend. I drilled my holes for the pins slightly higher than OP’s are located, in alignment with the pin that the arm/plastic end snaps onto. They feel very secure in this position. I wonder if the installer just drilled the holes slightly...

Thanks for the detailed post about your install. I agree that this is not too difficult of a job for an owner who is mechanically inclined. I could go into more detail about why I have more confidence in my handy work than the dealer's, but I do not think it is tasteful or appropriate to...

I reached out to Bennington and the rep came through today with this diagram! I think I will put some blue painters tape on the top rail and mark the locations for the brackets, then get some help from a couple friends to hold the front Bimini in place and mock everything up to check that the...

Here are a couple pics of the straps. No idea if they are installed correctly, as I have no install instructions or other boats to use for a reference. The canvass has distinct “cut-outs” for the straps, so I feel like they are installed correctly. If anyone with a curved double Bimini can...

Thanks for the number, will try to call this week and see what info they can provide. I installed the new rear curved Bimini yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. There were no dimension provided for locating the front brackets and when I asked the parts guy at the...

I am in the process of installing a curved double Bimini on my 23SSBXP that came with only the standard (non-curved) rear Bimini. Looking at the photos of where the pins are located, I am thinking that it would be a good ideal to drill my holes for the pins slightly higher on the bracket to...
