Rocket Launchers
I've got a bimini that stands up when not in use (see my gallery). I was wondering if anyone has attempted putting the clamp-on type rod holders on the support poles or the top back bar of their bimini. It seems like with some reinforcing, this would seem doable. Any suggestions or advice?

Re: Rocket Launchers
Rick, went to the galley didn't see the photo with the top, but I don't think mounting rod holder to bimini is a good idea to many weak points. Most are mounted with small screws into wood or alumn window frame ?? Crusher

Re: Rocket Launchers
Airborne, you'd probly get away with STORING a rod that way, but I wouldn't troll from it...seems to me it's gonna be painful in the arse end when stowing the top, too.....

Re: Rocket Launchers
Thanks for the replies!
Well...I'm going to reinforce my mounting hardware and install a couple for storage purposes. Since I don't have a boot, it won't cause any problem when I fold the top back. It'll be a month before I get this done, but I'll post the results and a pic or 2 when completed. Hey MJ, what kind of catfish is that? ;)
