hey all, just curious as to who makes the Bimini camper tops for rinker, I've got 2013 rinker 246 with camper top, my wife accidentally dropped one of the buckle straps that hook onto the windshield from the Bimini, went to my local boating store and they hooked me up with a strap that was way too long which causes my Bimini to cave in a bit while underway, looking for the exact replacement if anyone knows the manufacturer.

    Ameritex is who makes the tops. Send a PM to @boattech01 (TJ) to see if he can get you the part. If not, Ameritex has a sell to the public site.

    You can take the strap you have to a canvas shop and they can shorten it to the length you need.

    On the runabouts, you need them to keep the front of the bimini top from flying back and to keep it tight.

    I lost one as well, currently searching for the exact replacement but there are options online that look similar. Mine is a 48", if that helps.

    I only use them when I'm underway with ONLY the bimini open. It helps stabilize it and reduce the side to side movement.
