As always, check all straps and fittings for tightness before using your bimini top at speeds higher than 35 MPH. If it isn’t, pull the front hold-down straps tight in order to change the angle. Lastly, check the top for stability, ensuring the front of the top is angled downward.
For added stability and security, we recommend adding an extra washer and nut. In order to thru-bolt, you’ll need a longer bolt that travels completely through the fiberglass and reaches to the underside. The next step is to thru-bolt the connection points of the bimini to the boat-the front and rear eye straps, as well as the deck hinge.

The largest bimini top carried by SavvyBoater is the 4 bow, which is reserved for larger boats, such as pontoons or deck boats. This bimini top style is recommended for V-hull runabouts, ski boats, performance boats, and most center consoles. The most commonly used bimini top is the 3 bow.
The smallest style offered-mostly used for shorter Jon style fishing boats, V-hull fishing boats, and inflatables-is the 2 bow bimini top. Bimini tops are equipped with either 2, 3, or 4 main bows. The bows of the bimini top are the parts of the frame that connect from side to side over the width of the boat.
