Bimini Top Fitting - eye end

[Mogey]

So, one of the eye ends on my bimini top broke, and I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere online. Does anyone know where to find these? The type I have is internal and it screws right in to the bimini pole.

I saw these at overtones, but those go on the outside: http://www.overtons.com/modperl/prod...d&merchID=4005

also, I found different internal ones, but none that screw, only ones like these: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c...utm_medium=cse

This is my boat showing the tower I have, if that helps...

Do you have a picture of the other one, or how it broke. I'm pretty sure that second one from Taylor Made should work. Its internal, and the bimini pole should have a set screw that locks it in place. The circular groove just allows it to rotate.

I had one like your second link, they are riveted. I ended up going with one that goes on the outside that I got from a canvas shop, that was all I could find. It is not plastic and interestingly there were some that were used on the bimini from the factory that way. I don't know why they all weren't that way.

unfortunately i don't have a picture of the fitting, i will get one when i go to the dock next. i do know that the fitting is threaded and screws right into the pole. the piece that broke is the skinny eye part. it would bend (i thought it was supposed to bend to adjust to the top) and one day i guess bent too much and snapped. that's another reason i'm hesitant to try out the metal fittings. the ones that i have now are more rubbery.

so basically either of those should work though? i guess they are cheap enough to where i can just try them both out.

Check this link. I lost a bimini top part last week and found it on Marine Part Depot.
