MSC Bimini Boat Top Cover with Rear Support Pole and Storage Boot
Product Introduction and Selection Guide for MSC Bimini Boat Top Cover
MSC Bimini Boat Top Cover, equipped with a rear support pole and storage boot, is an indispensable accessory for your boat. It offers all-round protection against the elements, shielding you and your boat from the sun's intense rays and rain showers, ensuring a safe and comfortable boating experience.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this bimini top is constructed from high-quality materials. The 1 inch anti-rust and sturdy aluminum frames provide exceptional durability and stability, enabling it to endure the harsh marine environment.
The marine grade 600D polyester canvas of our bimini top is made from solution dyed fabric, which sets it apart from ordinary fabrics. Solution dyed fabric is created by adding pigments directly into the polymer solution before the fibers are extruded. This unique manufacturing process results in a fabric that offers several remarkable features. First and foremost, it has outstanding colorfastness. Unlike fabrics that are dyed after production, solution dyed fabric's color is an inherent part of the fiber itself, making it extremely resistant to fading even after prolonged exposure to sunlight, saltwater, and harsh weather conditions. This means that your bimini top will maintain its vibrant color for years to come, keeping your boat looking stylish.
Moreover, solution dyed fabric is highly resistant to stains. The pigments are evenly distributed throughout the fiber, which makes it difficult for dirt and stains to penetrate and adhere to the surface. Cleaning the canopy becomes a breeze, as most stains can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. Additionally, this fabric is more breathable than traditional dyed fabrics, providing better air circulation under the bimini top, which helps to keep you cool and comfortable during hot summer days on the water. Combined with the double PU coating, it offers outstanding resistance to water, UV radiation, and abrasion.
In addition, the use of nylon/stainless steel fittings further enhances the overall strength and longevity of the product.
One of the standout features of the standard bimini top is its partially assembled design, which facilitates easy installation. Whether you're working alone or with a partner, you can complete the installation process in just a few minutes, saving you valuable time and effort.
How to select your Bimini Top?
Choosing the right size of the MSC Bimini Boat Top Cover is vital for a smooth boating experience. Pick dimensions that suit your boat's structure and needs. Consider two scenarios: when the top is fully open for shade and protection, and when it's folded at the rear.
For the open top, make sure there's enough space in front and behind to install eye straps for hold-down straps or braces, which ensure stability.
To measure width, find the pivotal mounting points on each side of the boat (around the center of the top's position). Measure the distance between them for the right width.
To measure height, stand inside the boat and measure up from the pivotal mounting point. This should be your minimum required headroom. Note it's not related to the boat floor distance or frame arm length.
Never open the Bimini Top when the boat speed is over 25 mph. High speed opening can damage the structure and pose safety risks.

First let me start by saying this is an excellent quality product. Packaging was well thought out and very compact I thought. As I opened the packageand examined the parts I smiled when I saw the screwdriver, this was a "real" tool! You don't see that very often these days. Assemble was quick and easy, instructions were a bit vague, mainly pictures. An easy low cost improvement would be to number the parts (print on plastic packaging) and show the corresponding numbers in the picture illustrations. As other reviewers pointed out the stainless screws for attaching to the deck or railsare not the best and you can easily break the head off, I substituted better quality screws.I found as other reviewers that the best way to find where to position the top on your deck or rails is to get a helper to hold the other side and slide it fore or aft until you find the best location and mark the location and then drill the mounting holes.When you try to fold it right flat you can't without removing the rear position screws from the 2 rear deck/rail blocks. If you want it in a "radar arch" position it will fold up nice without disassembling anything. Nice cover as well. I like the flat position personally, so I will be buying 2 quick pins with lanyards to do so quickly and securely and not using the supplied hardware because I know I it will end up in the water...lol..In summary this bimini top is great value for the money!

I was in search of the perfect accent for my watercraft, and someway to protect the delicate skin under my thinning hair, while also shielding my precious blue eyes. Even though it is not as cool as the open-air cruising of the younger care free sort jetting around the waterways, at some point you must accept the ever-present reality that your youth is fading away. Gone are the days when you could lube up with Crisco, or baby, oil and stand naked in the noon-day sun. Gone are the days where your beautiful tanned skin is wrinkle free and resilient as a baby's bottom. Gone are the days where a simple visor and Oakley polarized sunglasses are all that's needed to bask in the solar furnace of summer. Yes, now there is an urgent need to cover what is coming uncovered, protect those baby blues, and keep the liver spots from standing out like a ginger-freckled lad.While I assume there are many, and varied, options to accomplish this task, all fell short of what I had in my minds eye. And while it is nearly impossible to hide under a canopy on the beach, wearing SPF 5,000, without looking like you should be wearing sandals, black socks, and full length swimwear from the turn of the century, I think I have found the one option that escapes all these issues.The MSC 4 Bow, 8' Bimini Boat Top with Rear brace and color matched storage cover, hits the mark on all points. It is sexy looking, both stowed and deployed, and provides ample space to move about under the taunt fabric.When I first opened the small box which looked far too compact to hold the advertised product, I was amazed at how much bimini was enclosed in such a small space. As I removed, and unwrapped, the myriad of parts, I was a little intimidated at the task before me. However, as I read the handy instructions (with pictures) my fears were allayed as I began the assembly. Within an hour, I had it mounted and quickly drawing a crowd of neighbors wishing to take a closer look at this beautiful product. I couldn't help but snap a few photos to send to my friends and I was certainly beaming with pride with all the pat-on-the-back well wishes for a great find and excellent job of installation.Great product for the price and I appreciate the full color "Hey if you like this, you will love all the other wonderful MSC products shown here!" advertisement included with the instructions. Two thumbs up from this guy!New problem, how to look cool with an awesome new Bimini Top, perched on a dingy sized raft, while visiting surrounding hot-spots, pulling up next to the luxury cruisers, and still catch the eye of scantily clad beach bunnies...I'm certain Amazon has that product as well. I wonder what department that's in...sigh?

Easy assembly and installation. The instructions are poor, but it’s pretty straightforward. Make sure to drill the pilot holes or you will crack the gel-coat. The fabric isn’t real heavy duty but it works well so far.

This is a great bimini top for the money. Installation instructions were decent, but were missing a couple of details. Seems like they send a single set of instructions out for all size bimini tops. I ordered the 4-bow 96" wide model for a 20 foot pontoon boat and the frame supports came in two pieces on each side, not the one size pictured. The nut and bolt needed to attach these two parts were included but the important thing to note is that the LONGER frame piece goes in the rear, and the shorter piece goes in the front of the cover. This will allow the cover to be folded down properly and stored in the included boot.As for mounting it, the measurements between brackets were not included in the instructions, but I'd suggest placing the center pivot bracket in the center point of where you want coverage, then experiment with the rear support pole placement until the top is at the angle you want, then measure and drill the holes for the rear support strut brackets.It definitely helps to have a helper or two, particularly if it's a windy day as this thing acts like a sail (or a parachute) in the wind. Be sure to measure the distance carefully from the front or rear of the deck to the mounting points before you drill so that the brackets and saddles are positioned properly on both sides of the boat.In my case, I didn't actually have to drill at all as the existing mounting brackets on our Sylvan Supreme 20 foot pontoon boat (from the old top) were positioned perfectly for the new cover. We haven't had it long, but the materials seem decent quality and you can't beat the price. I paid as much for this whole cover as my friend just paid to have his Bimini top restitched.

Delivery took a while, but for the cost it was worth the wait. It took about an hour to put it together and install it. The instructions are not so great, but if you are replacing an old top you already know how to set it up.

It appears to be good quality for the money. Measurements are accurate and when assembled correctly the Bimini fabric has a good taught stretch which should withstand the wind when moving. One disappointment was the fittings to connect to the boat. The photos showed metal fittings and what arrived was nylon/plastic fittings. I went to the $700 price range to get the metal fittings and then they were substituted
