Re: Bimini tops
You should have at least two mounting points, one on each side of the boat where the ears on the end of the canopy poles will be attached with a pin or a screw.
with the bimini still wrapped attach the poles to the mounts and deploy the top.
Make sure the top is facing the correct way. Now the straps should clip on to something to tighten uo the top both front and back, or you may have other poles to connect to keep the top up. Hope this helps.
