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, but this seems bad design. Never had issues with the bimini on my Vhull. Granted it was smaller, but the lack of forward security straps seems to make this an inevitable issue. I have searched online and this issue is mentioned in some old forums. Some point out the manual suggests limiting speed. Others say they have ignored speed recommendations and never had an issue.
The first time my son was going full speed...about 38-40 with my 200hp Yamaha. Today I was no faster than 30. Was a little windy, which was likely the other factor.
Is this just the way it is? Anyone tried installing forward security straps to allow higher cruising speeds? I don't have to air it out, but sucks to not be able to go 25-30 unless I put the top down.
