Paradis, This is the way I have my Bimini set up also, it lets you store it in the nomal back position or move it forward above the windshield so you have the whole cockpit wide open when fishing 3 or more people casting to breaking fish. In the back you need a set of adjustable tubes. In the front you use a set of solid tubes that are as long as your front strapes. You need to add four exta jaw slides to your bimini frame, West marine Pg 826 item E & two deck hinges item D to the top, side edge of your windshield or you can mount the deck hinges on flat arm rest area about 18" below top of windshield just to the inside of it. This is a change i'm doing, it will be more stable. This really works well doesn't block vision, and doesn't interfere with use of cuddy or front sliding hatches. This is very easy to do not very expensive or as complicated as it sounds, gives you a whole usable cockpit. Crusher
