Question:
Can the slide tracks work mounted on inside of boat because I want the bimini to fit inside of boat and not on gunnel. My question is this system strong enough to hold bimini when opened up on water. or what other system can i use??

Expert Reply:
Bimini tops when properly installed can be opened up while on the water. The tracks part # 369993030 are designed to have the hinges part # 36911717 installed on them to provide the base for the bimini poles. These have to face up so that the pole hinges properly. If the tracks were mounted on the inside of the boat and facing inwards it wouldn't work properly. If they made a 90 degree hinge this would possibly work but then the bimini would be narrower and maybe not give you the coverage you are looking for. That's why it's best to install the track on the gunwales.
