Gladiator Bimini

[Spud 7]

For those who have the Gladiator Bimini and I am not sure if the Evo is the same, but I have gotten a couple of chances to use it and man are those two front arms noisy and annoying. I have come up with two ideas to quiet them down and thought I would share for anyone who is experiencing this. 1: I have got a large piece of Neoprene to sew a couple of sleeves to cover the whole arm on each side, that should keep it from rattling in my ear while cruising. 2: I am shopping for two velcro straps that can cinch the same arm to the 2nd front arm for when the bimini is retracted. The reason being is when towing or cruising this way, the two front arms will not bounce all over the place and or fly off.

 

If anyone has any other ideas share.

 

Other than that, the bimini is pretty dang stong and easy to deploy once you get the hang of it.
