Bimini top

Has anyone had to replace the Bimini top on their 2008 185 sport without tower? I am looking for recommendations on options. Thanks!

What's the problem? Material? Poles? Fittings?

Somewhere on the canvas, either the bimini material or the boot cover, you may still find the tag of the manufacturer? It's probably Great Lakes. I think they're so busy, right now, that they're not doing retail, though. Also... reach out to KevinC - he's on this forum and is a dealer for Great Lakes.

We had a 185 without a tower or bimini and used Great lakes for a full OEM bimini setup(canvas, poles, ect.) It was great.

With our new boat, a 240SD, we replaced just the canvas and used https://americanboatcanvas.com/

Seconded on great lakes. I had them make a brand new Bimini for my 2005 185 and it’s been perfect.

The OEM for this was more than likely Great Lakes Boat Top. We are distributors for them and run a CSR discount program. Unfortunately they are not currently taking orders and will hopefully start again late fall or winter. If you have questions or need pricing feel free to PM me and fill out our online request to get more info and/or notified when orders start being accepted again.
