Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Those of you who have them, Do they power all the way down flat on rails or furniture, or do they only go back to radar position. If they only power back to radar can you manually put all the way down?
I am interested in one. but i have to go under a low bridge so it must lay all the way down,and even then if water is to high i still can't go under.
Thanks

They power top goes all the way down. There is a small post on the top that rests on your pontoon rail to keep it about two or three inches off your furniture. This top is a great investment as far as my wife and I are concerned. We are in our 70's and if there was a wind we had a very hard time getting our old top up or down.
Hope this helps you some.

Great addition love mine and they go all the way down

love the power bimini,never going back to a manual one !

Thanks for the reply's. I want one but didn't want to drop that kind of money and not be able to use it.

I also have a low bridge and i took the legs off mine so it lays flat on the seats, i will put the legs on in a couple of weeks when the water starts going down. I love the electric top

they do go down to the rails, I trailer them in this position, and they work great, I have the switches on the lower left side of the console, so I can put the tops up in the radar position before boarding, would not go back to a manual,Tim

What are some good power bimini manufacturers that I should be looking at? I'm thinking of adding a pair ASAP.

do they zip together or do you just align them so they butt when fully extended?

I put a schwintek pwr arm II on and couldn't be happier. No experience with two of them but I think you have to butt them together. Bought it on Pontoon stuff with the discount.

IMO you have one of the best looking pontoons I have ever seen.

I'd love to do twin power tops. How is it walking under the front one etc? Meaning when it is stored. My thought is it is fine either way. Can you remove one easily? Kinda thinking for fishing it might be nice sometime. Ah who am I kidding I'd never take it off anyway...

Sorry to the OP for the hyjack

I have two on my toon the one I added is power the other is the factory one. Both work great cover the entire toon. I did take the factory one and moved it to the front and added the power one to the rear. I fish mostly from the rear of mine so having the power one in the rear works out great for me.

Great info Gonefishing. I went to the closest Bass Pro today to look at pontoons and their setups. I asked about the power top on a regency they had there. The guy didn't care for them only because with no power you can't set it up. I guess that is a concern at when there isn't a battery in it. But I don't have a rear entry on my boat so I don't see that as a problem. And as long as my battery is good it seems all positives.
