Shit…. The cinco de mayo effect didnt have me seeing price!!! What a difference indeed, and with further research I see the Sewlong ‘needs’ to be used with their BiminiQuote:

You can fold the fabric in but it’s not connected anymore to the frame anymore, so lot easier/faster to just throw the fabric in the glove box.Quote:

i just installed it on my 19 mojo and it only took about 30-45 min to install. see b pics below. i also powder coated the brackets glass black to match my tower. they come polished aluminum.

Bobby,
Thanks a ton for sharing, that looks like good coverage, and great work on matching the colors up, looks seamless!
that's a nice cover. sure would make a difference here in the desert....
Thanks for sharing, let us know how you like it when you get out on the water. We really like the factory shade, great coverage, but it sure would be nice the eliminate the rear poles.

That really looks good. They say you can surf with it up, but I am curious about dealing with the rope unless you put the rope on the side of the tower. I may try it though I don't know if it will conflict with our SewLong Bimini top.
This…. Would like to have additional confirmation with those who have real life experience, have ‘heard’ with the shoreline if using the top of the tower position for towing you run the rope under and it works… though I am sure over time the rope rubbing on the material will have an impact…. The side points seem to be fine from what I can see on the pictures…. (But my eyes have often deceived me)Quote:

initially seems like this is going to add a lot for the driver to ensure proper distance based on the pic of the item swung over the lake but maybe I'm missing something....
Rope duty isn't that hard.

i was going to run the poll mounts on top which would allow room for the rope to mount in the normal spot but i have side pull points that we use 99% of the time. i think it looks a little better under on the rack. if someone wants to wake board then i would take down the shade. itis very ease to put up and only takes about 2-3 min to do. its easier then the stock bimini.Quote:

Does anyone know of any good side pulls that can be added to the A3 tower?
Reading Zog's question, for what its worth, you can still use the center tower tow point with the WakeShade bimini or at least we can on our Makai. The rope goes under the bimini and clears without hitting. We surf, wakeboard, and slalom with it still extended out. That was one of my major must things with an extended bimini, I didn't want to have to fold it up and down multiple times a day.
I have used the sides of the tige towers for years to pull from rather than the center. pass the rope handle through the loop at the end after passing it around one of the tower tubes. simple.
does make some work to swap sides vs just unhooking from a tow point but it worked for us for years. took 60 seconds or so to unthread it and move it.
Sounds like a good method. Now I am thinking I could just use a carabiner to do the same thing and get the quick disconnect.Quote:

we used ropes similar to these as the handle will fold/collapse to fit though the loop at the end to tie off to the tower leg.

Our old Tige tower was so tall it was a bit tough for everyone to change the rope, so we bought an Airhead kwik-connect to make it make it easier to change ropes. Being plastic we then bought more for side pulls on the tower. We really miss the headroom under that tower.

Shoreline Bimini on the way to me…
did a quick confirmation (they responded to my email in less than 5 minutes) on Moomba fitment with the Pro tower and if approx length was as listed on the site…. They confirmed compatibility with all Moomba models and 78” as a length give or take….
Obviously will report back on the results !
Looking at one of these options myself but my boat is a little older.
Anyone know if the S-Bend tower is strong enough to pull from the side?
I feel the older boats and towers shake a little more and makes me not trust it.
I pulled from the side of my 15 OZ tower. You pull from the top, it'll be fine from the side. If you've never tightened your tower bolts, might be a good time to check them. They are under the sides at the cupholders.Quote:

I'll have to try side pulling and see how it goes. Would be nice to get newbies in the pocket without having to drop in.
I towed for years from the sides of our old '06 supra and that roswell tower squeaked and groaned occasionally...
as knox mentioned, had to tighten bolts a few times and did notice it caused one of the pads on the top deck to slide out of position but tower took it like a champ.....
Thanks for the reminder on checking/tightening tower bolts.

Picked up the Shoreline Bimini today….
My dealer ordered in a few and had set one up on a Mojo in the showroom and I snapped a couple pictures…
I really like the setup (and the price compared to other options) and there is a lot of adjustability on how you can mount it, both with the ability to flip the mounts higher or lower (and rotate on the tower up or down) as well as the ability to angle the poles outward or inward depending on how you mount… I know that’s probably not the best description but when I mount I will try to help it make more sense….
Took some adjustment to close the gap between the rear of the existing Bimini and the shade, and I am really impressed with its size, i knew how long it was yes, but the fact that it could reach to the rear of the deck of the Mojo was great to see…
Glad for the additional length on my Makai as I can extend it fully and still allow someone to step right up onto the transom before having the potentially bend down under the shade (of course it does not have to extend that far, but if you do not extend it out you need to adjust for the slack in the fabric)
For a universal fit design I give them big props for the design and I have a few additional ideas on what I may do to mount it for my purposes!
Ok here are a few pics from the showroom

I like that. Definitely want to see it on your Makai!
