How do I drive on the road with the bimini?
You have two options for folding the bimini:
Option 1: Pack the bimini into the provided storage boot. Unclip the straps and/or support poles (if added), then fold the bimini down flat.
Option 2: If you’ve added back support poles, unclip the front straps, fold them back towards the back support poles (whilst standing up) and zip the fabric into the provided storage boot.
Can I fold my bimini flat both forward and back?
While it is recommended to fold the bimini back, there might be instances where folding it forward is necessary, especially if there’s an accessory blocking the way.
However if you are folding forward, make sure the bimini doesn’t protrude beyond the sides of the boat’s bow, as this could pose issues during road transportation.
