🚤 Seamander 3 Bow Bimini Top Boat Cover: Waterproof Sun Shade with Aluminum Frame & Rear Support Pole Review

This was an easy installation just have your proper measurements for your boat. I bought the easy to released brackets to take that Bimini top off when need be. I would recommend using the screws that came with the Bimini top if you buy a easy to release brackets . The screws that come with the easy to release brackets are smaller than the ones that came with the Bimini top. This Bimini top seems really solid and good quality.

Put on a 16 ft aluminum Polar Craft. Easy to put together, easy to install. Unfortunately the rails on the gunnels are rounded so the provided base mounts did not work. I had to purchase separate rounded bases. I put it together based on the picture with the provided instructions, which turned out to be backwards. It took maybe 5 minutes to fix it. The canvas is a bit thin so we'll see how it lasts. Still, I'm pretty happy with it.

We just installed the newly purchased bimini and then took the boat out. While the fabric is lighter gauge than you might find at a custom upholstery shop, it provided all of the shade we needed and also a great look for our boat. I drove the boat at approx. 40 mph with no problem. You’ll have to account for conditions, like wind speed, until you feel comfortable with your bimini’s performance. Installation might be challenging if you’d never owned or installed a bimini top on your boat because

**Important Note**The width where I wanted to mount the bimini was 60.5" and the bimini I purchased had with a top width of 60" fit perfect.I purchased one "used" for $63 from Revain Warehouse. Definitely felt like a steal, considering the usual $150 price tag. All hardware included and there was one small grease stain on the bimini(let's be honest it's going to get dirty). Used a 1/8" drill bit for pilot holes and screwed the hardware in. I ran a bead of waterproof silicone(loctite brand)…

First time ever installing a bimini top and it was beyond easy! Great quality, looks good, assembled easy and over all very satisfied. Just watched a few YouTube videos as there are a few different ways to approach it. After that i had it done in less then 2 hours and had no clue how to do this from the start. Hope this helps anyone who is considering doing this themselves. Installed on 2000 seaswirl 175 ( just a heads up).

This is actually a very nice product. It was a little difficult to put together though. It took us about 30 -60 minutes to figure it out. Words of advice lay all of the pieces to out first and make sure they are facing the correct direction. If we had tried that first it would have gone much smoother. Once it was up it was a really nice looking top.

The product was supposed to be a boat Bimini top with stainless steel mounting hardware. The Hardware is nylon, so the price should have been reduced by the cost of stainless steel, at least $25-$30. The seller offered $10 refund even after they admitted to misrepresenting the product. Now they are no longer communicating with me. Other than that, the product seems to be ok.

I would give this product 100%. It was easy to put on and I love the ease of it on my boat. I can easily lift it for shade right after I dock and put it down when I need to put it away. It’s super easy. I did have to drill a little bit more holes in my boat than I had wanted but in the end it’s not that big of a deal. It adds more value to my boat now I feel like. When I didn’t have it I felt like I was getting way too much sun. Great product. I would buy again.

The instruction sheet is very generic - one set of instructions for 4 different styles of bimini. While I figured it out easily enough, it was frustrating not to have adequate instructions. Additionally, the instructions didn't include any measurements regarding placement of the hardware that secures the top to the boat. I did find an independent youtube video that was helpful, but much of the process of installation was trial and error.

Really great addition to our bass boat! Husband was somewhat skeptical about putting it on but has loved that we did! It gives shade during the hottest part of the day when you just need to cool off a little bit or have lunch on the water! We made sure we mounted it so when it laid down it doesn’t cover the back deck either. It doesn’t interfere with fishing off the front deck and so far the wind hasn’t been an issue pushing the boat around. We’ve also had it up and ran the boat around 30mph…

First, let me say that this isn’t my first bimini that I’ve installed. What should have been a maximum 2 hour job turned into a whole day affair. First, the instructions are worse than what you get from IKEA: pictures that don’t match the parts you’re shipped (more on that later), and the diagram shows different tube placement than pictures of the finished product.Second, the quality control of packaging leaves a lot to be desired. We received two "right” J-tubes instead of left and right. This

Seems very well made and sturdy once adjusted. The cover is a nice touch! We’re gonna take it out in the Texas sun this weekend!

Delivered on time and a nice fit for my 22’ war eagle. Ordered the stainless steel ends and base for the boat to enhance the strength. Looks good and rides nice at 30 mph.

Worked great for 91 Bass Tracker Tournament TxI wish I would have gotten it taller but didn't know and never bought one before.

I am very satisfied for the price. The framing could be heavier, that would increase the price, I’m sure. It is pretty sturdy. I use it on my aluminum hull boat. Gives me a little shade and it looks good, too.

This is really a great product, even more so for the price. Easy assembly and good solid construction. The fabric top is pretty decent and should last for many years. I did replace the 4 mounts to all stainless steel, but the rest of the top is really good - riveted components and came with good solid hardware. Glad I found this!

Quick setup, easy install, easily done alone. Light weight aluminum, easily flexes. All necessary hardware included. Instructions are more intuitive than informational though. I will be ordering adjustable hardware, and reinstall to allow for better positioning for my specific boat. Otherwise, great buy

I ordered this to replace my aging Bimini top on my pontoon boat.The instructions were fine and installation was a breeze. For the money this thing is awesome. I plan to buy another one soon for the front of my boat.

Great quality for the price I love the way it looks on the boat and the directions were decent enough to figure out. I've had it on the water a couple of times and it's easy to set up and take down.

For anyone with experience in putting 1 of these on this should only take a couple hours at most not all day! You just have to figure things out for yourself.
