I have a 2008 H260 which is simply a fantastic bat with one bad habit. The bimini top shakes badly. Even in mild cross wind and chop. The year after i bought it, the screws backed out when i was riding. That was a bit exciting. Never happened with the 3 previous boats i owned (regal x 2, international) and this top shakes more than any of the others as well. Replaced screws with lock washers and constantly check to make sure they are down before each use. 2 years ago, one of the screws sheared off! Able to get it out with a vice-grip and fixed that as i always carry spares. Happened again today and now the torque sheared off one of the bolts holding the screw plate. Fixed that but it is getting a bit ridiculous. Is there a way to better brace or stabilize the top? Did Four Winns fix this is later years? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
