Supreme S238 Bimini Top

[akiesler 0]

We just took delivery of our new S238 last weekend. When I set up the bimini, I noticed it was loose and hung low. If I lifted it up by hand, it probably made it to 6' 8" in height. If I let go, it settled around 6' tall. This caused me to hit my head a few times. When I got off the water, all I could see were four hex screws on both sides, which appeared tight. Is there something I'm missing that will keep the bimini at full height?

I have a 17 so assuming they are the same I can only think of 1 thing.  When you flip the bimini forward to open it are you using the side pins to hold the bimini bar to the tower frame in addition to installing the cross bar?

Did you install the cross bar and pin it on the sides as asked in the post above.  Mine is a 17 and is straight tight and plenty tall.
