Some Blind Ideas For Those Who Might Need Them

More bimini fittings, 3/4" conduit. Hogging out all of these plastic fittings was a royal PIA. I used a drill press with a bit designed to do god knows what. It got the job done. My boat has T-rails, I took some webbing and doubled it over and through a female derlin buckle. Then attached to T-rail system. I have three per-side. Now I can remove the entire blind in about a minute or two, and all I am left to contend with are the female buckles, which I can also remove if I really want to. Frame is bad ass, cost me about $150 and say 6 hours of labor, Took the conduit bender back to Home Depot after use. For you southerners this is what Big Sky country looks like. We call that a pot hole.

How did you attach the frame to the front of the boat. Also, did you use screws to mount that bimini fitting or did you weld it to top of the transom??
