Ok, so I was putting up the Bimini on my 2007 256SSI and didn't see the rear tube was loose at the top connection. Sooo when I extended it to lock it in it fell out of the boat and promptly sank to the bottom of the lake. Nice.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement Bimini rear tube? Thank you, oh and check your top attachments unlike me.

The tube is like pipe. You buy it buy the length and than add on the fittings you need. Sailrite.com, I know has the fittings and stainless tubing.

Yes, and any marine canvas shop can supply what you need and cut the pipe to length from pieces that may be left over from other jobs.

Quick thank you again. Ordered the tube, cut to size and ordered and added the hardware. Pretty easy.

When we do ours, we pop rivet the fittig to the tube. Then it will not come loose.
Happy to hear your issue got solved.

Good idea. I did drill and fasten additional bolt in the tube as well. Appreciate the add on, so logical, can't believe I didn't get that figured out in the first place but appreciate the forum helping out! Happy boating.
