It looks like you could install some tracks in place of the single mounting point. I have tracks on my Dauntless 15 and they not only spread the stress better than a single mounting point, they make for much easier stowage of the bimini when folded down. Just a thought...
I have thought of that approach and it is attractive. Can you send me some closeups of your track system. Any input from the group on this approach would be appreciated - pros and cons.
Thinking on this option a little more I could replace the aft hinges with eye loops and place the fore hinges on short tracks. This way I would have the extra strength of the tracks which would also allow me to stow the Bimini folded all the way down and aft without hitting the motor rigging (a problem since raising my motor up)
