Will check my Bimini for that tag, lol. Certainly did not notice it, but possible I missed it. The first time we were definitely exceeding 30. The 2nd time we were at 30 or less, though it was windy. My prior boat had cables forward of the bimini. I have to believe you can achieve that for well...

Good idea, but my bracket is not as wide. Less room behind the connector for a pin hole. It would probably be ok. Drilled perfectly, a 1/4 inch pin would have 3/16" of metal behind it, but likely closer to 1/8" with some room for error. Maybe I could cut a wooden shim that I could clamp in...

This was somewhat useful. I did not realize you lift tabs to release the connector. At my dealer they just described hitting the strut with the heel of you hand to release it. None of this necessarily helpful for my issue though. One question would be adjusting tension. The front strut allows...

Good thought. And you have had no problems after doing this? Only issue I could imagine is a cross wind bending the frame I guess, but would have to be pretty strong.

I have not. I will mention it after seeing it happen again this weekend. The first time I just accepted it was going full speed, but if you are having to do quantum physics to calculate whether 2/3 speed is safe while factoring in wind speed, I think you are just stuck taking it down unless slow...

Just got a M22 Tritoon and love it. However I am frustrated with the Bimini. Twice it has come loose while driving. We are lucky...so far has not significantly bent the frame. Never had issues with the bimini on my Vhull. Granted it was smaller, but the lack of forward security straps seems to...

Thanks for the replies. A friend of mine came over with his old Aquapatio, which is actually 8'7" wide, and we got it in, no problem. Even having to squeeze it past 2 wide boat bumpers (that I will be replacing with lower profile fenders) it was bot a big deal. The pier is a huge help. Having...

Looking at a 22 foot M series with the extended aft deck. Our dock slip is 9 ft wide. I know this is going to be tight. Our current boat is a Monterey Bowrider with an 8ft 3 inch beam. I have had no major issues docking it. Fortunately not one of the more heavy traffic lakes. We also have a pier...
