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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo 48-inch aluminum round-tube braces hold a folded bimini top up and off the deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeck hinges let the braces fold down out of the way when you raise the top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHinged jaw slides connect the braces to the folded top for a secure hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete kit: 2 braces, 2 deck hinges, 2 hinged jaw slides, 2 pole clips, and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction stands up to salt and sun out on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA by Carver, over 30 years building marine canopies and covers\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 does this Carver brace kit do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt holds your bimini top up and off the deck when the top is folded down and not in use.
