At a very reasonable cost and little effort, you can replace straps on your bimini and convert it to the Gemini System strapless bimini with folding spreader bars. Improve access in and out of the cockpit, create strength and rigidity and have a top that will be tight — every time — without adjustment.

There
are a few options
Sliding
or split type side mounts:
Sliding side mounts (at right) save money but require
disassembly of the frame to install the new side mounts high on the
frame.
Split type side mounts (at left) have an opening clamp design
that are placed in position and you're done. No disassembly. No
work.
Save time and hassle on any retrofit project.
