Hi All, The past few years have seen an increase in the number of gulls landing/eating/crapping on boats in the area (Buzzards Bay, MA.)
I currently have a Bird B Gone gull sweep with a sand bag base that I put on my bimini top and bungee it. Looking to simplify the process.
seeing if any folks have other ways of mounting theirs to keep the birds off the bimini. The factory clamps look like they won't fit on my windshield...
Boat is an Adventure 208 btw.
Any advice appreciated.

Hi DonW - I grew up boating out of wareham (rose point, hence the boat name pointedrose)
We used to put a net over our center console to keep the birds off. Cut the net to the size you need, run a rope around the edge and bungee to the boat in place. The birds don’t like the net around their feet in the wind!
good luck fighting it
