It stands 54 inches tall, runs 72 inches fore-to-aft, and fits a beam width of 61 to 66 inches. Anodized aluminum frame, storage boot included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run a center console, a bay boat, or a whaler-style hull and you're tired of squinting through a full day on the water, the Carver A5463TB-04 gives you real shade you can put up and take down by hand. It's a 3-bow bimini top that measures 54 inches at the peak, stretches 72 inches from the front bow to the back, and fits boats with a beam width between 61 and 66 inches. That mid-size footprint is the sweet spot for a lot of 18 to 21 foot fishing platforms, covering the helm and the front of the cockpit without turning the whole boat into a tent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe canopy is cut from Sunbrella and Outdura premium acrylic, the same solution-dyed fabric that holds its color season after season instead of chalking out by the second summer. It's water repellant, it breathes so it doesn't trap a swamp of humidity underneath, and it's treated to resist the mildew that loves damp marine canvas. Pacific Blue is a clean, deep blue that reads well against white gelcoat and doesn't show every speck of salt spray. Because the fabric is UV-stabilized, it also protects everything under it, so your electronics, your seats, and the back of your neck all get a break from the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the canvas is a 3-bow round tube aluminum frame with an anodized finish. Round tube resists bending better than flat stock when the wind picks up, and the anodizing is what keeps saltwater from chewing the frame down over the years. Three bows give the top its shape and hold the canopy taut so it doesn't flap and drum at speed. Everything works off manual operation, which means no motors, no wiring, no fuse to blow. You lift it, you set the support poles, and you're shaded. When you want the sky back, you drop it just as fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit is where a bimini either works or frustrates you, so measure your beam at the exact mounting point before you order. This top is rated for a 61 to 66 inch width, and staying inside that range is what keeps the canopy tight and the geometry right. On most center consoles the deck mounts land just aft of the console or on the gunwales, and you'll want to plan your hardware placement so the peak clears your tallest passengers and doesn't foul the leaning post or rod holders. A little forethought on mounting angle pays off every trip after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few field notes from people who run these hard. Anodized aluminum holds up well, but a dab of dielectric grease on the mounting hardware and hinge points keeps corrosion from starting where the fittings meet the deck, especially if you keep the boat in saltwater. If you cruise in a stiff breeze, an extra pair of tie-down straps front and back takes the load off the frame and stops the canopy from luffing. And when you're running offshore with the top down, the included storage boot zips over the folded canopy and bows so nothing whips around or chafes on the trip out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a replacement or first-time top for open boats, not an enclosure. It gives you overhead shade and rain cover, and it's designed to pair with matching side curtains or an aft extension if you later decide you want a fuller wraparound. For anglers who spend long hours drifting or trolling, for families who want the kids out of the midday sun, and for anyone who has come home cooked after a day of chasing fish, a proper bimini is one of the highest-value upgrades you can bolt to a boat. The A5463TB-04 delivers that in a color and size that fits the boats it's built for.\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 aluminum frame with anodized finish resists bending in wind and shrugs off saltwater corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e54-inch top height gives real standing and seated headroom over the helm and forward cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72-inch fore-to-aft length shades the console and front of the cockpit without covering the whole deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits a 61 to 66 inch beam width, sized for many 18 to 21 foot center console, bay, and whaler-style boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSunbrella and Outdura premium acrylic canopy is solution-dyed so Pacific Blue holds its color season after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFabric is water repellant, breathable, UV-protective, and mildew resistant for long life in the marine environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual operation means no motors or wiring to fail, up in seconds and down just as fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a color-matched storage boot to protect the folded top when it's stowed or the boat is underway\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\u003cp class=\"nvn-trust-note\"\u003eGenuine Carver by Covercraft bimini top, made in the USA.\u003c\/p\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 the A5463TB-04 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for center console, bay-style, and whaler-style boats with a beam width between 61 and 66 inches at the mounting point.
