Key Benefits of Installing a Power Bimini Top on Your Boat
When it comes to enjoying your time on the water, having the right gear makes all the difference. Enter the power bimini top—a stylish yet practical addition to your boat that provides much-needed shade when you’re cruising, chilling, or just need a little break from the sun!
Not only does it keep you cool during hot summer days, but it also protects you from the unexpected splash of rain or the relentless glare of the sun.
In this post, we’ll explore the key benefits of a power bimini top and why it’s a must-have for any boating enthusiast looking to enhance their on-water experience. So, grab your sunglasses, and let’s set sail into the world of bimini benefits!
1. Convenience & Ease of Use
Power bimini tops are designed for convenience, allowing boaters to extend or retract the canopy with the simple push of a button. This eliminates the physical effort required with manual bimini tops, making it easier for everyone on board, regardless of their strength or technical know-how, to adjust the bimini top as needed.
The autobimini advantage: Our power bimini tops are uniquely designed to include multiple ways to trigger the bimini top.
Can’t reach the helm switch? Use the fob. Left the fob on the dock? Use the autobimini app on your smartphone.
With so many options, autobimini adds more convenience to an already convenient device!
2. Increased Comfort & Protection
By providing adjustable shade, power bimini tops significantly increase comfort on sunny days, protecting passengers from harmful UV rays that can lead to sunburns or overheating. They can also offer shelter from unexpected rain, ensuring that your time on the water is enjoyable regardless of changing weather conditions.
The autobimini advantage: Our tops take sun and rain protection to the highest level. Stretching to a full 10 feet in length and 92 - 102 inches wide, our marine-grade canvas canopy and boot are sure to keep you covered, and they are UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+.
That’s the maximum protective rating achievable for fabrics. No sunburn will happen on your boat.
Plus, the 600D polyester canvas is water-repellent. Rain won’t soak through to drip on you, so you, guests, supplies, and upholstery will stay dry even in a sudden downpour.
3. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Modern power bimini tops are designed with both functionality and style in mind. They come in various colors and materials, allowing boat owners to choose options that complement their boat's design and aesthetic.
A sleek, well-integrated power bimini top can significantly enhance your boat's overall look while maximizing space on your boat.
The autobimini advantage: Not only are there seven different color canvas options for you to match or complement to your boat, but these fabrics are true 600x600 Denier. The material is abrasion-resistant and retains more flexibility for a soft feel.
It is also solution-dyed, which means the color is part of the threads and runs all the way through the material, not just applied to the surface of the canvas. Why is this important? The color stays true and lasts much longer.
So, go ahead, keep that top up in the sun all day. The color isn’t going to fade anytime soon!
4. Durability & Longevity
Power bimini tops are built to last. They are made with durable materials that can withstand the elements, from intense sunlight to heavy rain. Their construction and the technology used to operate them are designed for longevity, ensuring that your investment continues to pay off for many seasons.
The autobimini advantage: The above statement may be true about other bimini tops, but nothing compares to the robustness, power, and durability of autobimini. Heavy-duty actuators and a smart controller with PWM (pulse-width-modulated) motor control provide smooth and precise handling and long-lasting functionality.
The autobimini frame is made to be used and to last, too, with 1.25” tubular aluminum with 3mm thick walls. This is 50% larger than the competition's 2mm thick walls for a stronger frame and higher speed ratings.
The 3mm thick aluminum tubing, along with the 4-bow design, creates the best automatic frame available on the market today.
5. Improved Boat Value & Appeal
Installing a power bimini top can increase the value of your boat. Potential buyers often view such upgrades as desirable features, which can make your boat more attractive in a competitive market.
It’s an investment that not only improves your immediate boating experience but can also offer financial benefits if you decide to sell.
The autobimini advantage: With the beautiful design, flawless functionality, and long-lasting longevity of autobimini, the resale value of your boat shoots through the roof! It ticks every box that boaters want, so if it’s time to sell, you’ll get your asking price.
