Abstract: A bimini top for a watercraft includes a bimini frame having at least one bow and at least one support leg rotatable relative to the at least one bow. The bimini frame is transformable between a retracted position and a stowed position. An actuator is operable to automatically transform the bimini frame between the retracted position and the stowed position. The actuator forms the at least one support leg.

Abstract: A storage boot for a bimini top including a bimini frame and a cover includes a base defining a hollow interior configured to receive a portion of the bimini top. The base includes a first support member and a base cover attached to the first support member. The base cover is formed from a fabric material. A lid is movable to selectively close the hollow interior. The lid includes a second support member and a lid cover attached to the second support member. The lid cover is also formed from a fabric material.

Abstract: A bimini system includes a bimini frame having a plurality of bows movable to transform the bimini system between an open configuration and a retracted configuration and a cover supported by the bimini frame. A storage boot has a hollow interior for a receiving the cover therein. The storage boot includes a base mounted to a first bow of the plurality of bows and a lid mounted to a second bow of the plurality of bows.

Abstract: A bimini system for a watercraft includes at least one support member and a bimini frame including at least one bow operably coupled to the at least one support member. A lift-assist device is configured to control movement of the at least one bow of the bimini frame. The lift-assist device is associated with the at least one support member.
