Folding the Bimini

Post by ccvalentino »

Hello all,

This may sound like a crazy question, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fold up the Bimini on my 350.

If anyone has any pointers or pictures on how to fold/collapse the Bimini, it would be great appreciated!

Thank you,
Chris

Sorry, Chris, I can't attach a picture of any decent size on this forum but the bimini folds against the backstays from the front and back.

You may have to raise the boom a bit to allow the front of the bimini to clear it.

I usually wrap the straps (that go down to the pulpit seat clips) loosely around the bimini when it's folded and then put the boot on.

If you shoot me a private message with your email address, I can send you a picture.
