Carver 62010 48-Inch Aluminum Bimini Top Brace Kit
Carver 62010 48-Inch Aluminum Bimini Top Brace Kit — Product description
Drop your bimini for a run and the folded top has to go somewhere. This Carver 62010 brace kit holds it up and off the deck with two 48-inch aluminum braces. The kit's complete out of the box: braces, deck hinges, hinged jaw slides, pole clips, and mounting hardware. USA made, from a company that's built marine canopies for over 30 years.
When you drop your bimini top for a run at speed or to clear a low bridge, the folded canopy and bows have to go somewhere. Left to their own devices they sag against the deck or flop over the gunwale. This Carver brace kit gives that folded top a proper resting place, holding it up and off the deck so the fabric and frame ride clean while you're underway.
It's a straightforward support system. Two 48-inch aluminum braces do the lifting, and they're round-tube stock, so they shed water and won't hold moisture the way a channel would. Each brace pins to the boat through a deck hinge and connects to the folded top with a hinged jaw slide. When you're ready to raise the top again, the hinges let the braces fold down out of the way. It's the kind of setup you rig once and forget about.
The kit is complete out of the box. You get two braces, two deck hinges, two hinged jaw slides, two pole clips, and the mounting hardware to bolt it all down. Nothing to source separately, no trips back to the store mid-install. Bolt the deck hinges down, clip the slides to your top's bow, and you're set. Carver's been building bimini tops and covers for over 30 years, and this is the same USA-made quality that goes into their canopies.
Who's this for? Any boater running a folding bimini that needs a tidy way to stow it. Center consoles, runabouts, pontoons, deck boats, if you've got a top that folds back, these braces keep it managed. One thing to note: this is a support brace kit, not a full bimini top. It holds an existing top, it doesn't replace one. Measure your setup and confirm the 48-inch brace length works for your boat before you rig it up.

Frequently asked questions
What does this Carver brace kit do?
It holds your bimini top up and off the deck when the top is folded down and not in use. The two 48-inch aluminum braces prop the folded canopy and bows so they ride clean instead of sagging against the deck or gunwale.
What comes in the kit?
Two braces, two deck hinges, two hinged jaw slides, two pole clips, and the mounting hardware to install it. It's complete out of the box.
How long are the braces?
Each brace is 48 inches. Measure your setup before ordering to confirm that length works for your boat and your top.
What are the braces made of?
Aluminum, in round-tube form. Round tube sheds water and stands up to salt and sun better than materials that trap moisture.
Is this a replacement bimini top?
No. This is a support brace kit that holds an existing folded top up off the deck. It doesn't include or replace the canopy itself.
Where is it made?
Carver builds it in the USA. They've been fabricating bimini tops and boat covers for over 30 years.
