Installing Brackets and Bimini Frame to Tower:
Step 1: Determine Mounting Bolt Kit.
Depending on the
board rack options on your boat, you will need one of the 3
available bolt kits:
Step 2:
In our example we have fixed racks, so we’ll be
using the fixed rack mounting kit. We’ll also be using a black
mounting bracket on a white tower for picture contrast.

Remove both boardracks and replace existing mounting
hardware with new hardware supplied with your bimini kit.
Set brackets on tower using new hardware, then carefully
slide rack spacer over the screws.

Next, carefully hold
rack into position while tightening screws.

HINT: it may be easier to do two screws first, then
come back and insert remaining screws. Depending on
agility, have a second person hold boardrack in place
while the other tightens screws.
Notice pin on back of
mounting bracket sits in corner of machined window of tower.

Once everything is in place, tighten all screws using
1/4” hex key/wrench.
