Love your boat, I have a 2007 200 in red and white. Maybe I should add a navy stripe?

Apparently it is a 1/4” x 3/4” 20 slot pan stainless steel screw with partial thread.

Hey guys / gal,

I didn't think I had any of these screw pins on my bimini. This weekend I had one of the arms fall down while in transit. Sure enough one was missing. I got lucky and found the missing screw in a cup holder, but investigating I found there are 6 of these screws on my bimini in addition to the regular spring pins. All of them were slightly loose.

The screws on my 240 were on the 2-back lateral support arms (45 deg at the back of the bimini (top connection) and on the side arms Port and Starboard.

I didn't notice them at first, but if you check everywhere an arm connects you'll find them. Double check they are tight, save yourself some trouble.

I would put blue locktite on all of those. I lost one on my 200 in Table Rock lake.

Incase anyone needs extra above should be the size. I just got 6 stainless steel ones even though I only was missing one. Driller is right there are about 6 total on most Cobalt Boat Bimini tops and losing one in the water is no fun. I recommend keeping some backups in your glove box. It is a cheap insurance policy.

Did you order online or local? If online, can you provide the link?
