Removeable bimini

[fishngator]

I have a bimini top that I would like to be able to remove in minutes, without unscrewing any hardware. I saw a removeable set up in a magazine once... anyone know anything about where I can find more information on something like this??

Gator,<br /><br />It's as simple as getting "thumb screws" for your attachment harware.

While my bimini is pretty standard, I replaced the screws that hold it to the boat with these stainless pull pins. Makes for quick removal.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cg...d=4430&cart_id=717135023&current_category=pin

gator,<br /><br />Good suggestion by Jolly. As long as your hardware will take the pins. If not, you can drill them out.

I use the pin set up too. We actually have two locations for the top, depending on use. It can be moved or removed in seconds. And the pins are attached to the top so there is nothing (screws and nuts) to lose. <br /><br />Believe me -- I would lose 'em.

Mine is mounted on slides so that all I have to do is unhook the two front straps and slide it all the way aft out of the way.
