    These issues remind me of the issues we were having after the new wake plates for installed in 13. Took 2 summers before they found a problem with the programming.

    It worked great at first, then randomly after a fall and idle back to get rider. Wake plate would just lower it's self back to 0%

    I agree if the dealer installed the mounts and or didn't supply you with the proper bimini setup they should be held liable.

    Default Bimini torn from aviator tower

    I've had so many issues with mine, especially the screws coming out and arm goes flying wind. I finally took them all apart and used thread lock because it wouldn't stop.

    Sure wouldn't hurt. I've never towed with mine on, so I could never understand how bolts kept backing themselves out when most the time I'm surfing at 10mph.

    But I did also have the thought that wind plus drive speed =trouble with this setup

    My first Moomba I almost ordered that tower and shade top. My first mod was to cut the straps down and take them to the window instead of the cleat. Opted for the S Bend by the time the order went through. I don't care what shops say, if the straps are there then use them.

    I had the straps on they were just to the tower handles and not to the nonexistent cleats. The windshield is a good idea for future use though. Perhaps I will rig something when this is all sorted out

    I gotta say, i HATE the bimini on the aviator tower. It is a complete pain in the azz to set up and take down. It's my least favorite "feature" of my boat. Yea, the height/clearance and surf pockets are nice. but the hardware quality and having to move the position of the legs up/down the tower suck. I feel like i'm fighting off an attack from a colony of bats when struggling w/that thing, lol. Maybe a better design would be to have tracks that the base of the legs could slide up and down the tower when putting it up/down instead of physically removing the them to re-position them would be better... but of course that would add cost.

    Hahaha. I've been trying to find a way to describe that bimini for a while now. I'd say you nailed it!

    I agree that it is a pain to mess with especially because I rarely boat with it collapsed. I love the shade and keep it open 5 of the 7 months I boat in colorado. Agree a better design would have been nice
