Stern rail seats/Bimini for h23.5

[Ron LeDuc]

Alright design guys. Heres one for ya. I got some stern rail seats from Hunter the other day. What I did'nt realize was now what do I do with the Bimini. See, it attaches just above the rub rail right where the stern rail seats bolt on. And then there is no place to stow it underway because it normally lays down across the gunwhale under the tiller. It seems like its going to have to be one or the other. Any ideas/pictures? Thanks Ron

Stern rail seats

Ron I have been looking at the stern rail seats for my boat, and was always wondering if thay would work with the bimini. When I mounted the bimini I used 36" tracks, and this allows me to move it for amd aft 3'.I also cut it down, so i could sail with it upSo with all that said, Try putting 36" bimini tracks on, I will be watchingto see what other people say. We all learn together.Dave B.bd52014@alltel.net

Dave, I already have the Bimini on 36" inch tracks. The problem is that the forward attachment point (?) of the stern rail seats mounts at a point forward of the 36" track. I was thinking of cutting the track down some, but forward movement of the biimini is limited by the mainsheet.I was thinking of talking the tracks off and mounting the bimini to the stern rail seats but then I don't think it will stow. Thanks for the reply, there has got to be a solution somewhere! Ron
