Checked there, seems I can feel screw heads but they are buried under the vinyl. No way to access them without ripping. Which is fine, but that is the point of no return.

I did try lifting straight up with no luck. How much force did you have to use to get them to release?

How do you remove the padding around the V Berth? Mine has some rips in it that I would like to repair or replace in the off season. Seems the screws are buried behind vinyl. Are the panels glued in?

Not quite, have a few more plans for winter layup like rod holders, washdown pump, plumb live wells, gelcoat repair, etc. Just changed my VST filter, that was fun.

Been a good first year so far.

Roger that.

That’s all that is on mine. Nice and simple.

Do you have a picture of how the frame connects? Mine is a very small fitting.

These blades from NAPA were direct replacements on my 1999 Islander. Cheap too.

Thanks Russ. I’ll send my address. The Bimini there now works but is ripped on the top, no enclosure and the bows are bent up bad. I straightened everything best I could but yeah. The canvas would help if shipping the metal is too much. Very generous. Thank again, very much.

A little addition to the Bimini today. 2 boat hooks and an eBay sun shade. Makes hanging out at party cove comfortable.

Thanks Russ for the incredible offer. Take your time and figure out what you need and let me know. Great forum!!

Cool. Thanks!

I’ll pay shipping if you feel like boxing it up.

Me too. But if it’s between not putting in a holder or using screws, it’s getting screws. There is no way to reach up over a foot after bending your arm under the seat to install bolts, let alone a plate.

I wasn't going to add backing plates for ease of installation as these will mainly be storage for rods. Probably no room for plates, I may not be able to get bolts in some locations so will go self tapping screws if I have to but, swivels will definelty need plates.

Found this picture on THT. I will finally have time to tackle this project, probably next week. Got round 90 degree rodholders and caps for the bottom. Fire up the hole saw!!

On a 12 year old boat?

NAPA 60-1870 is no longer current. The new part # is 6-1865. But, both of those give you then entire blade in black. KY Grady. That looks like a winner, have to check it out. Thanks! This is what the black ones look like.
