FCT-3 Tower Bimini

I though I would share some pics of the Stainless Steel Tower Bimini that has been installed on my 2010 210. I am pretty happy with it, in particular the ease of which the Bimini can be installed/removed.

The Australian Dealer Principle supplied the Bimini using their in-house SS team. It is difficult to get the Z5 Bimini shipped to Australia, thus the reason for looking at an alternative option. After 4 months and plenty of road and boat trips, the design has presented no issues.

Nice Job! I like it. Quick question, how is it getting boards on and off of the bimini? Does it rotate like the Z5? Hopefully we will see more innovation/competition like this here in the states!

I haven't done too much in the way of loading equipment onto the top of the Bimini; However, I found it much easier to load the gear onto the Bimini from the bow area. Releasing the brackets at the rear of the Bimini and dropping its rear to fit riding gear is procedurally more intensive. The Bimini will rotate at the tower pivot point if need be.

That gets said a lot on this site. Truth is I have a set of alloys in the shed but have not got around to doing a change over.
