Like the title says. I just ordered a power top from Pontoonstuff cause I'm gettin a bit older and raising and lowering the top I have now is a bit hard. My wife has two bad rotator cuffs,so I have lost my helper with anything that has to do with overhead stuff.
Once it arrives I will post on the installation and how it works for me. Gonna go with a power windlass for the anchor as well.
Getting old not only sucks,it's expensive too.

I said I would do a revue so.#1 Pontoonstuff has the fastest shipping I have dealt with doing online purchases.#2 The material is good quality. #3 Directions are clear and easy to follow. #4 I like it !
Not been in the water with it yet,but I do not foresee any problems. Took me a while to do it all cause good old Mr Arthur Itis in both hands slows me down a bit. I would suggest to anyone doing this top to get a couple of young friends to help,it was a bitch to do by myself.
I am most certainly going to enjoy pushing a switch to raise and lower the Bimini. Pretty sure I just added some extra years to my boating. I would not hesitate to recommend Pontoonstuff and this top to anyone.
