Does your Bimi do this to your mounting brackets?

[Vicseek]

My Bimi hasn't came off the tower until today (it's a 2010) and here is what the brackets look like. For as long as I can remember theyve always looked bent however i'm sure there is a little more to it. Perhaps Its all those miles on the road towing the boat with the Bimi Top zipped up and strapped to the tower?

How fast are you towing? That looks like the Bimini hit something.

Yes, but not quite that bad. I actually change my brackets every two seasons or so.

This thread has a link for bimini bracket replacement parts. As mentioned in the thread, it is a good idea to keep one or two in your boat tool box in case of failure.
