Bimini top, forward position: Which make?

[drpeeb]

I saw a runabout with its bimini top stored in the forward position, like over top of the helm or windshield.

Does anyone know which manufacturer that was? (and model if you know)

It looks like a good way to get the bimini out of everybody's way when it's not open and being used.

Thank you ...

Welcome to iboats.

Just order one that is wide enough to clear your windshield. When you install it the option on where to mount it is in your hands.

The last boat I had..... the top folded back and was even with my splashwell on top of the transom.

My last boat had a factory bimini that stored at the base of the windshield. Even had a storage cover that you snapped down to the bow.

These guys are the OEM for a lot of popular boat manufacturers, mine included. Should be able to find something here.

My boat has a factory bimini top. It's just that it stores at the rear, above the sun pad, and it's in the way there. I'd like to flip it to the front above the windshield, but wanted to see some other pics first.

Re: Bimini top, forward position: Which make?

The place where the main support is attached to the boat is probably a single point attachment piece for each side of the boat. Most marine dealers sell an attachment piece that is a guide rail that allows you to side the main support attachment points to the front or rear for storage and any place in between by tightning or releasing a single screw at each point. Mine allows a slide of about 5 feet.
