Bimini Top

[DJMattyT]

So this post will definetly make some people laugh at me lol. I am trying to fold up the Bimini on my 195 Impulse and its just not cooperating, I understand how it folds in and whatnot but its not sitting right at all. Anyone have some steps? Or even a picture of what it looks like folded up?
Sorry for being a total newbie

@ScarabMike, I bet you know how to do this.

I may record a video later today.

 

[DJMattyT]

Thank you lol Im sure this is quite laughable but I just couldnt get it working yesterday

Hi I strugled first time too as dealer had no clue. Remove ball joint on rear center tube where it attaches to tower. (Small pull pin that you turn to allow this to be removed) as well as pin located further towards rear of canopy center tube. Collapse tube. Pull out front two tubes from tower, fold each arm in, bunch it all together and voila. Sorry never was much of a teacher. Hope it helps though.

Thank you, Yeah thats exactly what I did but it is just not folding together right

Had troubles at first myself and still struggling with the boat cover on a process to get it on better. @ScarabMike I can get a video made by tomorrow afternoon if too busy and still having monsoon.

Sorry it took so long...Youtube is slow uploading.

This is how I do it but there may be a better way...the whole "do it in reverse" that is in the manual is just asinine!

 

[DJMattyT]

Thank you so much!!

I tried to get every step and good angles. I suck explaining so I hope the visual is good enough. Did you see anything different than what you do? Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[ScarabMike]

Great job Joseph! That's exactly how I do mine. But Im anal about what's left in the FL sun, so I take mine completely off.

Now that I have to see! I am just glad I survived....pretty sure a brown recluse popped out of the boot....as I was opening the Bimini I realized a wasp had decided to build a nest....caught me off guard to say the least.

 

[DJMattyT]

The video was great. I saw exactly what I was doing wrong so now it works! Thanks again

 

[Joseph Baxter]

Any time!

Can anyone upload another video? I'm baffled too!
