Installed a bimini top today, tired of that sun beating down all day. Installed the pin on a slider so that it can be moved forward 3 feet to cover the front deck or back 3 feet to cover the deck right behind the console seats. I'm 6'-4" and I can walk around under it and it clears my head sitting on the front deck. Shown in the rear slider position.Attachment 274768Attachment 274769Attachment 274770Attachment 274771

Looks good
In the bright sunshine of the middle part of the year, shade is important in two places : over the fish & over the angler !!
My fishing bud & I devised these setups for my boat :

Boat Covers Direct. The sliders were $35 and the stainless steel hardware upgrade was $99, I bought the top of the line fabric, 8' long, 4 bow. Just under $700 all in.Quote:

It keeps the whole frame from being able to flop back & forth any. When using the offset pole, the bend of the offset pole against the T does the same thing ... but only in certain positions. My buddy is working on a brace (threaded rod & clamps) to use with the offset seat pole, but we haven't gotten around to making that just yet.
The last few days the top has saved our butts from this oppressive heat. Just getting out of direct sun has been helping people not overheat.
