Bimini Top

A Bimini top is a popular boating accessory designed to provide shade and comfort while out on the water. Not only does it make your boat more enjoyable, but it also shields you from harmful UV rays, unexpected light rain, and even adds a touch of privacy. According to the CDC, sun damage can begin after just 15 minutes of exposure—and because sunlight reflects off the water, the risk is even greater. With a Bimini top, you’ll have a cool, shaded retreat onboard, helping you stay protected and comfortable during long days in the sun.

What Makes a Bimini Top Essential?

A bimini top is a must-have accessory for many types of boats, offering cool shade and comfort while you’re out enjoying sunny days on the water. It creates a more enjoyable onboard experience by shielding you from harsh UV rays, unexpected light rain, and even adding a bit of extra privacy. According to the CDC, skin damage from the sun can begin in as little as 15 minutes—and since sunlight reflects off the water, the exposure risk increases even more. With a bimini top, you’ll always have a shady spot to escape the sun and stay comfortable during long hours outside.

Choosing the Ideal Bimini Top


Choosing the perfect Bimini top for your boat is simple with SavvyCraft™. The two key factors to consider are the width of your boat and the number of bows needed for support. To get started, just measure the beam (side to side) of your boat and select the matching Bimini top width. Keep in mind—larger tops require more bows to provide proper stability and durability. With detailed product highlights and features, SavvyCraft™ makes it easy to find the ideal Bimini top to match your boat’s style and performance needs.

Step-by-Step Bimini Top Installation Guide

Review the complete instructions before starting installation

Setup

You’ll need a screwdriver and a drill to complete this installation. start by unpacking all components and laying them out for inspection. double-check that every part is included—if anything is missing, reach out to customer service right away for assistance.

Assembly

To start assembly, place the canvas canopy flat on the ground with the zipper side (interior) facing upward, then unzip all the zippers. next, attach the arm poles to their matching straight poles, ensuring the pin sets line up correctly for a secure connection. once assembled, position the frame on top of the canopy, carefully aligning each bow with its designated zipper pocket. zip them closed, and you’re ready to move on to the installation process.

Installation

The ideal mounting position for a Bimini top varies depending on your boat, so take a few minutes to decide where it will provide the best coverage and function. once you’ve chosen the spot, mark the areas where the deck or side mounts will be installed. using a 3.2mm drill bit, drill the holes for the mount attachments. if drilling into fiberglass, countersink the holes to reduce the risk of chipping. for extra protection, apply a small amount of marine caulking (such as 5200) in each drilled hole. if working with alloy, use a barrier paste like Duralac (not included) to prevent corrosion.

Secure the Bimini top to the first set of fittings with the provided self-threading screws. unfold the rear support arms, mark their placement on the gunwale, and repeat the drilling and fastening steps. next, clip the front straps into the stainless steel saddle fittings, pull them tight, and mark the screw hole positions. repeat the drilling and securing process, then adjust the straps until the proper tension is achieved to hold the top firmly in place. finally, double-check that all screws, fittings, and nuts are securely tightened before use.

Suggestions for Effective Use

  • Always cover your Bimini Top with a protective boot when it’s not in use.
  • Avoid operating your boat with the Bimini Top up at speeds over 45mph.
  • Do not place the Bimini Top directly on boat seats or leather surfaces, particularly if it is wet.
  • Remember that some fading from sun exposure is normal; however, our solution-dyed polyester is specifically designed to minimize fading for as long as possible.
