OD 37 Dodger/Bimini
Hi Howard, I'm doing that right now and plan to keep it simple. The new dodger has a zipper on the after side and for a bimini I'm using the original after frame only. Just zip the top to the dodger and bimini frame when you want it and tension the frame using tie downs to the after hand rails to keep it tight. Since the bimini is not as wide as the cockpit I'm making 18" wings that zip to the sides of the dodger and have ties that I tie to the upper life line. This extends the dodger so that rain falls outside the cockpit.When not in use you can either take the bimini off and lay the frame down on the aft house or just unzip it from the dodger and lay it down with the fame for quick deployment when needed.Simple, inexpensive & practical!!Good LuckRon
