Also, if you want to bring the engine up to operating temp in 15 seconds, unpin and push down the blue knob to engage the automatic impeller buster in the engine bay.
Ahahah - "automatic impeller buster". Reminds me of a dive trip we were on. At a resort, came across a pole in the ground with a 4 inch nail sticking out of it about 6 feet in the air. We nicknamed it the "Courtesy Brain Impaler"

on my R7, yes you can lower it with the Bimini up. once down there is a metal latch near the pivot point that keeps it down. I believe the latch is on the starboard side of the boat.
Correct. There is one on the R5 also. On the starboard side there is a latch. I could not lower the arch enough with the Bimini deployed to reach it. With the Bimini removed/wadded up/stored the arch will lower enough to allow the latch out to hold it down.
