Have a 2020 1950 and with the cover on it pools water between the bimini and the console with the poles in. Does the bimini go on top of the cover or under it?
Thanks

HI, Did you figure this out? I have a 2150 and cannot find any resources for installing the cover

I did figure it out. The Bimin has to be in up position using the shorter of the two back support brackets of the Bimini. Then the cover goes over the Bimin. Then I found a rouge parts bag stored under the console with some small plastic dowl pins and screws that I had to drill holes for to connect the elastic loops on the back of the cover inside the engine well on the transom. and that did the trick. Also had to adjust the poles with the shortest in the front mod size in the middle and longest in the back. Hope this helps, if not I can take some pics this coming weekend and send those as well.

hey, thank you so much! That really helps. I didn't put the support poles yesterday and cranked down the cover and broke the windshield. frustrated for sure and if it's not too much trouble, I'd really appreciate any pics that you can send. thanks again!

Here are some pics, if you look in the back motor well you will see the 3 dowel pins I added for the elastic hoops on the back of the cover. The kit came with six but I only added 3 and that seems to have done the trick.

This is great, thanks so much. On a different note, are you pleased with the lift you have it on? Exploring different options and would love any good or bad feedback on lifts. thank again!

That lift is actually for a pontoon I had before the Tahoe. Had to have it readjusted to fit but it works. What sucks is I don't have a horseshoe dock so it's almost imposable to ratchet down the cover on the side not facing the dock without getting in the water. It's a Sunstream 4010 rated at 4000 lbs. and works well, but if I had a choice I would go with one with a catwalk to access both sides and the front as well. It

is also solar powered and I had to replace the motor after the 1st couple years. It's really nice, remote control and manual operation but a manual one has less moving parts.
