Is anyone aware of an aftermarket replacement that will fit the standard 24' boat bimini reasonably well? Unfortunately we got surprised by a pop up severe thunderstorm and tornado warning, and while hightailing it off the water the boot flew out of the mesh pocket in the seatback. Can't get an OEM one until late summer at the earliest.

Thanks!
 
Have you tried Toms River Motorsports or Hobby Lobby Marine?
 
Not yet, but may give them a call. Stuff like that always seems to get ordered from the mothership (just like all the online parts stores), but worth a shot.

True, ...we did get a replacement for ours last year from our local, they ended up finding one at another dealer and did a trade of goods.
 
A few years ago mine sprouted wings and flew away too. I just measured and bought a grey replacement - Amazon. Been fine. Little bit larger than the OEM but serves the same purpose. I priced out the OEM but that was a lot of coin just for the Yamaha logo.
