Replace bimini pole?
I broke one of my legs on my Bimini. Where do you get a new one? How much? I am all for cheap so what would be the lowest cost to repair mine?

I doubt you can just purchase the pole. You might be able to cut yours and remove the damaged section then look for some aluminum tubing that would slide into the original tubing and then rivet it in place. Yeah that sounds a little hokey but it would be something I would try before I had to spend 700 bucks on a new top.

Have to agree with Mike on this one. I'd try to sleeve it with the next size up of aluminum tubing. No one will ever notice. Of course my Dad would just use this:

Thanks...
I think I will pass on the duct tape... I thought about the tube over the top of it not sure it would work. It broke right next to the plastic hinge.

after reading cab's review of his bro's MC, maybe they should put a roll of that in the glovebox as "standard equipment."
wait, what am I thinking, MC would make a roll of duct tape a $100 option.
