Assuming you have the necessary hardware and fabric, installing a bimini top on an open bow boat is a relatively easy process. Here are the basic steps:
1. Mount the front support poles to the deck of the boat, using either screws or clamps (depending on what type of hardware you're using). Make sure the poles are securely in place before moving on to step 2.
2. Attach the rear support poles to the stern of the boat in the same manner as in step 1.
3. Unfold the bimini top and drape it over the support poles. If you're using clamps, now is the time to attach them at each point where a pole meets fabric.
4. Once everything is secure, adjust the height of the front and rear support poles so that the fabric is taut but not too tight. You may need to experiment with this a bit to get it just right - if in doubt, err on the side of caution and make it a bit looser rather than too tight.
And that's all there is to it! With a little practice, you'll be able to install your bimini top in no time flat.
