Trailering legs for bimini top

Post by CD262 »

Anyone have leads on a set of trailering legs for a bimini top? I have a 2011 262 so I have the 7 year challenge on parts. Not sure who made the tops or how hard it would be to either purchase a set or have a set fabbed up. I've seen a few photos of them here and there, apparently they were an option which the original owner of this boat didn't opt for. Most that I have seen are "s" shaped, and have the quick release end where the normal bimini top attaches.

Naturally, my storage unit is about 6-8" too short to get the boat in with the bimini up and I hate laying the it down as it doesn't sit quite flat and is always resting on the gel coat. I use pool noodles around the poles but I would still like a better option.

Any advice from the crew here would be appreciated as always!

You can always get them made at Marine upholstery shop. Maybe A7 can find a link to some on the web. I've seen them. You may just have to add the hardware to your boat.

I'm not sure what trailerling legs are Cd262. Those were not an option on the 2000-2007 262 series models. Post a pic of one that you have seen.

Not sure, but take a look here to order a custom length. I ordered shorty poles for dri rack storage for my 07 252 in Florida. They were thru a Cobalt dealer, but these are comparable.

Very hard to make. I tried to make some custom poles for my boat as well. I found out the S share is required for the existing hardware to line up.
