E-series Bimini

[AndyD]

Anybody with an E-series noticing the Bimini frame rattling or excessive bouncing during rough water or high speeds? Specifically the frame itself since it is not all in one with the tower but rather a bolted on attachment. We were on the water last weekend and the water was pretty choppy with high winds and I was noticing the canopy was bouncing more so than the prior times we had taken it out. It only connects to the tower with two knobs and they're both secured toght but I'm just curious if it's mine only or just an opportunity with the overall design construction. When we hit some heavy wakes I thought it might come loose

We should let @1948Isaac test it out.

Mine doesn't budge at all. I'm also pretty sure there are two attachment points on both sides...but not certain.

Mine is rock solid. You are right...ther are just the 2 bolts that attach it to the tower. Not sure why it would, or could bounce when you are underway.

Rock solid here too. There are the two obvious bolts and two hinge pivot points.
