I have a 2001 Tige 23V with a Sunbrella Bimini Top. I am having a difficult time trying to set the top up. I dont know if I am missing a part or if I am connecting the braces in the wrong spot. I especially dont understand how the top wraps around the tower, it seems as if there is no room. Could someone PLEASE help me with this issue? <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/73391.jpg" alt="Here is a shot of the boat"> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by pierce_bronkite on July 03, 2003)

Where are you located?

from your picture it looks like the top is on the outside of the tower (bimini struts over the tower struts). <BR>Is that how you are trying to use it? <BR>

When I bought my last boat the sales guy convinced me to order the bimni larger than the tower. The reason for this is to allow the maxumum coverage possible. It works great but the problem is I have to remove one of the bottom screws and open the bimni, then when it's open fit it in the space under the tower.

Can you post a close up of the top. Also, if the legs have a button on them it is so they can telescope shorter to get the bimini into position. <BR> <BR>Bill

Ok thanks guys. The bimini top is in the inside of the towers, I just dont know how the back is supported. I have the straps but dont see how it will work out. I will see if I can get a close up shot and shot you what I mean.

What kind of Wakeboard racks are those black ones that you added on to the sides of the tower? I need some like that.

Take the long arm that is in the down position now and put it in the front hole in the round mount. Take the two short arms and hook them to the front arms of the tower. Take the middle length arms, that have slotted holes and put them in the back hole of the round mount. You should then have two long straps on the back that should hang and connect to the D-rings on the back arms right below the black pad.
