Anodized aluminum frame, 46 inch height, wrapped in Captains Navy Sunbrella with a storage boot included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bimini top is about the cheapest shade you'll ever add to a boat, and on a bright day out on the water it earns its keep every single time. This is Carver's 4669U, a 3-bow manual top built for day cruisers, cuddy cabins, bass boats, fish-and-ski rigs, and V-hull fishing boats that run a side console with a walk-thru windshield. If your boat measures somewhere between 67 and 72 inches across where the top mounts, this is the one sized to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is round-tube anodized aluminum across three bows. It stands 46 inches at the peak, which clears most seated adults on an open helm and keeps the sun off the driver through the middle of the day. If 46 inches is taller than you need, or the top fouls a windshield header or a hardtop, the frame cuts down to as low as 36 inches. That's a handy bit of flexibility you don't always get. Length front to back is 72 inches, so you get real coverage over the helm and the seats just behind it, not a token patch of shade that leaves half the crew baking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit really comes down to one measurement. You want the width across the boat at the exact spot where the mounting hardware lands, usually the top of the gunwale or the rail just aft of the windshield. If that number falls between 67 and 72 inches, you're in the window for this top. Measure it twice before you order. A bimini that's too wide won't tension up right, and one that's too narrow leaves a gap the sun sneaks through. When in doubt, give us a call and we'll walk through the measurement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarver wraps this one in Sunbrella, which is the fabric you want if the boat lives outside on a trailer or a lift. It's a solution-dyed acrylic that shrugs off UV, sheds water, and resists the mildew that turns cheaper canvas into a science project by the second season. The color here is Captains Navy, a deep classic blue that looks right on just about any hull. And it ships with a storage boot, so when you drop the top the canvas folds down clean and the boot keeps it from flapping or chafing on the run back to the ramp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of things worth knowing before you drill. Round-tube frames can crowd rod holders on a bass boat, so dry-fit the mounting feet first and plan to offset them a few inches if you run rods along the gunwale. Boats with a walk-thru windshield sometimes need a set of standoffs to clear the helm glass, and the thicker gunwales on a walk-around may want slightly longer mounting hardware than a thin-wall hull uses. None of this is difficult. It's just the difference between a top that sits right the first time and one you end up fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce it's mounted, hit every joint and fastener with a little dielectric grease. Anodized aluminum holds up well, but boats that live in brackish or salt water will pit any bare hardware over time, and a dab of grease at the pivots keeps everything swinging freely for years. If you regularly run at cruise in a stiff crosswind, a manual 3-bow can sag a touch at speed. The included boot helps there, and a pair of rear support straps run back to the transom will lock it down solid when the wind picks up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's a manual top, there's no motor, no switch, and nothing to burn out down the road. You raise it by hand and strap it off, which is exactly what most folks want on a boat this size. It's honest, proven gear from a company that's been sewing marine canvas in the USA for more than 30 years. Measure your beam at the mount point, confirm you land between 67 and 72 inches, and this Carver 4669U will keep your crew shaded season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-bow round-tube anodized aluminum frame stands 46 inches tall for real helm shade on open boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrame cuts down to as low as 36 inches when you need to clear a windshield header or hardtop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72 inches of front-to-back length covers the helm and the seats just behind it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized to fit boats measuring 67 to 72 inches across at the mounting point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSunbrella solution-dyed acrylic canvas resists UV fade, sheds water, and shrugs off mildew\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptains Navy color, a deep classic blue that suits most hull colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage boot included, so the folded top stows clean and won't flap underway\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual operation with no motor or wiring to fail, just raise and strap by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for day cruisers, cuddy cabins, bass boats, fish-and-ski, and V-hull fishing boats with side console and walk-thru windshield\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA by Carver, over 30 years of marine canvas experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Carver by Covercraft reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat does this Carver 4669U bimini fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's sized for boats measuring 67 to 72 inches wide at the mounting point.
