Start with the
2 center clips
illustrated.
With the top surface of each clip parallel to the top
of the tower, use a marker to mark the center mark
for each bimini clip. Remove each center clip from
the rear tower tube so they are out of the way of the
center mark.
Center punch the 2 marker points on
the masking tape.

The position of the
center Clips is the
most important to
begin with. Make sure
that the clips are
positioned along the
rear tower tube so
that the fabric is
centered around the
Light Housing.

Prior to marking the center points for the 2 center clips in Step I, it is
important to pull/rotate the clips until the clip top surface is parallel to
the top of the tower. With a good grasp on each clip, rotate them until
the top is parallel then mark the center point with a black marker.
Make sure your fabric stays centered around the light housing

Using a cordless drill and a 9/64” drill bit, drill holes
through the tower where you made the 2 center
punch marks. Using a tap and a 10-24 UNC bit,
carefully tap each of the holes you just drilled.
***When drilling the holes
for your bimini clip it is
important to drill the
holes perpendicular to
the location of the hole to
be drilled. This will allow
for an optimal fit of the
bimini clip.***

Tightening your Pro Edge Tower Bimini Canvas
It is normal that your bimini canvas will stretch over time and use. Your Pro Edge
Tower Bimini has been designed to allow you to tighten your canvas as needed.
There are 2 ways you can tighten your bimini canvas. You can use method 1,
method 2 or a combination of both.
Canvas Tightening method 1
Your bimini clips are mounted
to plates that are sewn to
your bimini canvas. These
plates have 5 sets of holes
designed to allow you to
move your bimini clip position
to achieve a tighter canvas.
Plate sewn to the canvas
Your clips are
factory installed
in the middle
position
With a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the 2 bolts that secure each bimini
clip to the canvas. Slide each bimini
clip over the new hole set that you
would like to install them in.
It is recommended that the clips
only be moved 1 hole position at a
time.
Once the clip is lined up over the
desired holes, re-secure the clips to
the canvas using a Phillips
screwdriver and the 2 bolts.
Do not overtighten these
bolts

Remove
this bolt
Remove the rear bimini arm bolts on port and starboard sides. Do not remove the front bimini arm
bolts. Once both rear bolts are removed, re-apply Loctite to each bolt and re-thread them loosely
back into the tower. Have a friend lightly pull down on the bimini arms one side at a time. With the
arm being pulled down, re-tighten the rear bimini arm bolt. Repeat on the other side.
This method is best executed with 2 people

FTips and Tricks for your Bimini
It is normal that there is potentially a slight variation from one tower bimini to
another. Listed below are some tips and tricks to ensure that your bimini is installed
and functioning properly. This process is not mandatory for all biminis.
1 : It is possible that once your bimini is installed your frame and arms are
not parallel where they pivot. This could make inserting and removing your
quick release pins difficult.
If you are not experiencing any issues, skip this page.

4 : If your quick release pins are still difficult to remove and insert with the
addition of the arm shim washers, Roswell recommends using a drill with
a 5/16” drill bit to clean out the holes. Drill through the frame and bimini
arms at the same time. This will help with the alignment and ensure an
accurately aligned hole.

release pins. If it is still difficult to remove or insert the pins proceed to the
next step.

If your bimini looks like this,
in Step 2 you will need to
add shim washers between
the forward bimini mounts
and your bimini arms
If your bimini looks like this,
in Step 2 you will need to
add shim washers between
the rear bimini mounts and
your bimini arms
2 : Choose one side of your tower to work on first. Determine which bimini
mount the shim washers will need to be added to. Completely remove the
bolt that secures the bimini arm to your chosen bimini mount. Loosen the
other bimini arm bolt. Add the shim washer(s) in between the chosen bimini
mount and bimini arm. (In some cases 2 washers may be required under
each arm) Re-insert the bolt with loctite applied. Remove the loosened bolt,
apply Loctite and re-insert. Tighten down the front and rear bimini arm bolts
in the same position they were in prior to loosening them. Repeat on the
other side of your tower.
