How To Install a Bimini Top - Jon Boat Bimini

This video shows how to install a Bimini Top on a Jon Boat. The Bimini in this video is a 3 bow King Bird brand top. I give step by step instructions with close ups. Anyone can do this with minimal tools.

I've watched countless "how-to" and DIY videos on YouTube, and this is perhaps the most informative, clearly detailed I've ever seen. Well done.

Nice video! Seriously! You should give lessons to the other boober-toobers on here on how to make a tutorial video.

No overly amplified techno music, no 4 minute pre-canned 3D intro, no flashing unnecessary jump cuts, absolutely perfect!

Best part is now I actually know what I came to learn.

Great vid! Clear instruction with no stupid intro or annoying music.. just right down to the facts.

Thank you for this video. I'm about to buy a top for my ancient 12ft aluminum JB rebuild and everyone on YT doing a video either already has the mounting bases installed because they bought a boat with them stock or they just left out the part where they installed them. You the man

Thank you for the great tutorial. I spent nearly an hour trying to figure out the cryptic instructions that came with my Bimini top. You are awesome!!!

Phil, just wanted to say that your videos are a top notch source of information, head and shoulders above most! Thank you for all your effort

First off I want to thank you for making this video, it really helped me install my BIMINI TOP to my 12 ft aluminum fishing boat. Just making this comment to help anybody who watches this video and uses all the original parts. The 6 bolts and locking nuts are all installed on the frame and the 4 thumb screws and nuts are to be attached to the deck mount so you can take the top off without a screw driver. In this video you show using the thumb screw to attach the poles and the after market parts for the deck mount. Again this was a great video!

I watched this video instead of going by the instruction booklet. Very good informative video.. I even took your advice on the rail mounts with the quick release pins.

[cynthiacook]

Thank you very much for posting! The instructions that were sent with the top were of no use. We would have never gotten it on without your great help! Thanks again.

Great instructional video that is way better than a lot of "professionally produced" videos where they spend 5 minutes telling you what they are going to tell you and going over the description of the tools.

[virginiafleming]

This teacher approves of your excellent step by step instructions! : - ))

[rwchidester]

This has to be, hands down, the best instructional video I’ve ever seen.

[kaneseven]

Thank you so so much for this video. It made my install so so easy I didnt even open the instructions. So incredibly helpful and very well done!!

[adamcates]

This is one of the best "How-To" videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this.

[evanwindom]

Nice video. One quick suggestion for the straps, especially if your bimini doesn't have the rear support poles and uses straps in that location: Put one twist in the strap before clipping it to the strap eye. This will keep it from vibrating when you're moving at speed.

[johnfaulkner]

If only all "how to " videos were as well illustrated and clearly presented as this!
I am about to buy a little boat to play on the Thames and a Jon boat was among the possible choices.
You just made the choice for me and Yaks.and other polythene boats are out and this is in.
It will also be getting a bimini top so now all I need is some English sun.
Many thanks!

Fantastic tutorial video. No extra flashy stuff, just the facts, clearly stated. Thank you.

[danieltatum]

This is the only video of yours I have ever seen. I had to check your channel to make sure I wasn't watching a how to video professionally prodiluced by the bimini top company. REALLY WELL DONE. I subscribed before the video was over.

[whoknows]

Most helpful video I've seen on adding a Bimini to a boat. Thank you for your time in making this video.
