Not sure if it was worth the [$]. The plastic wingnuts stripped upon 1st tightening. I will be replacing them with straight pins after I drill holes through the alum tubing in the 2 spots that I would like the top to sit at, in both the deployed position, and also trailering position. Still a better option than the alternative (fixed support poles), but definitely felt this could've been a better product for the money, and would expect to perform NO modifications or hassles- especially for the price.

Not sure if it was a design defect or not, but the ends could NOT be attached to the bimini top frame without completely taking the frame apart (which was impossible as the frame comes riveted right from the factory). Needless to say I sent them back and bought the 48" poles that didn't need to be cut for my application (and saved $20 in the process).

      This very easy to install and will support the Bimini Top when traveling down the road. It also will keep it off the engine cover and out of the way.

        Comments about Taylor Made Adjustable Bimini Top Support Poles:

        I had to make a vertical cut in the part that attaches to the bimini so I could spread it enough to fit onto the bimini frame post. The screw attaching the adjusable pole then holds that cut closed. There was no other way to attach to my bimini except to disassemble the bimini.

        Also, it would have helped if they had included a 3mm hex wrench. I had to run to the hardware to pick one up.

        Comments about Taylor Made Adjustable Bimini Top Support Poles:

        Positive:
        Looks great with aluminum ShadeMate top frame; same aluminum tubing so it itegrates together nicely and looks like it came with the bimini top. Keeps the top nicely supported off the gunwale. Easy to install and adjust.
        Negative:
        The biggest negative is the plastic "hardware." The set screws that hold the adjustable length are plastic and strip out easily. I didn't pay attention to the plastic and stipped the threads the first time I set the length.

        • Q:

          Do these attach with some kind of quick release
          Pin to the bimini? I ask this because I would want the top laying
          completely down when I travel ,because I use a boat
          Cover when trailering. Thanks

            Yes, they are, you can order them online. They came in really fast. Don't, don't order a top from them though. Going on day 20 and no Bimini Top, only excuses why it's not here and no word from the manufacturer. Only order parts that Overtons have in their warehouse, then you'll get it on time.

          • CUSTOMER CARE

            A:

            You would not be able to use this support pole with a pontoon bimini top because pontoon bimini tops have square frames and this is made for round frames that are usually used on runabout boats. You should consider one of the following items for pontoon bimini tops:
            74985, 76724, or 73324. Those items are sold individually.

          • CUSTOMER CARE

            A:

            You can use these anytime whether the boat is going fast or slow, but what you need to worry about is if the bimini top is open you should be driving under 18mph. If the bimini top is closed then it is fine to drive however fast you want. Just be careful if the bimini top is open because you do run a risk of it taking on Mary Poppins abilities and flying off of your boat.
