bimini

[chpthril]

Da.bell, Scoot18 does yours look anything like my 06? Mine is different from some of the 07's i have seen, but you never know.

Hope this helps.

That looks EXACTLY like mine....

However, I don't have a blue tarp drapping over my boat. he he he

It depends on your tower and the style of bimini that you have. Post a picture so we can see what kind you have. Even some of the same year tower/boat models have different biminis.

Oh and chpthril that boat needs some TLC!

Check this out, this is what I have fumbled to come up with. We did this on the day of delivery and I haven't had it out again since. But I would like to get familiar with opening it up and stowing it back again. Like to get good at it so I don't waste a lot of time while on the water trying to get it right. I won't look like such a big idiot if I practice in the driveway..... here are a few pics take a look and let me know how bad it is.

Matt, pleaseeeee help.

Ok, I left out some info I have the "E" series tower, 2007 22Ve. The pics in the previous post don't show much of the tower. So here is another pic with a full view of the tower and the bimini.

I have the same tower but the bimini top is not the same as the 2007. So what Matt is saying is soooooo true with this one....

[Matt Garcia]

I felt the same way about my bimini, now I can deploy and stow it in a matter of minutes. Once you figure it out it all becomes much faster especially when you know which mounts will help you "hold" it for you while you stow or mount it.

Ok from the pictures I am going to take a guess and say the arm “mount A” needs to be connected to the cross arm mount on your tower “mount B”. Can't tell from your pictures but it looks like there is a mount on the cross arm supports on the tower? (“mount B”). I am not real familiar with the E towers so like I said this is a guess.

Take a look at this PDF, http://tigeowners.com/downloads/2007...ntallation.pdf Page 5, Figure 8 for an explanation. Although the bimini is a bit different it should have the same mount options.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the info Matt. Hey that link you included doesn't work, says page cant be found. I will try to see if that support I have facing rearward will make it to that other clip on the side bar. I am not sure if it will be long enought to make it with putting something else in a bind.

[Matt Garcia]

scoot, no problem. Also, the link is fixed.

I love that color scheme! Nice boat!

[scoot18]

"Thanks dog," the end result did turn out nice. I really struggled with making the color choices. Changed my mind away from this many times and kept going back. .Glad I stuck with it. I want to do something different from what every body else has, all boat makes included.

Now if I can just get the dag-gumed bimini figured out I will be alright

[scoot18]

Matt, thanks for the link. After having time to slow down and really study those instructions and pictures in the link you gave. It all seems to be a little more clear now. That will really help. The next step is to get in the boat and get mine untangled and stowed properly and then open, close, open, close until I get it down to a science.

"Thanks again." Do you have anymore instruction manuals or pdf files that might be helpful to this newbie? Things that you know are high frequency questions?

Or is there a general page where we can browse throught a list of pdf instructional doc's? That would be really nice................

If not add that to the suggestion box.
