Hey that MPOW works great. Have one for an older car radio as well as for my headset while flying. Connects & streams music effortlessly! Love when technology makes our life easier. Kind of a love hate relationship.

Now this is cool. Might check it out. Doesn't really matter with my setup as my phone holder is right underneath the head unit but it would limit me fidgeting with my dongle all the time. See above.

Best $15 bucks you'll spend. Range all over boat and no dongle confusion

Apparent the small two pins that brace my Bimini top on the back are missing the smaller pins. Anyone know where I can get some? Not even sure what you call them. Attached photos show where they go and what I think they look like. The regular pins don’t fit so it is something smaller.

Found these on eBay.
Are you sure they are something smaller. I thought there was only one size used.
If they are smaller find out what size you need. There are many places that sell these.

Thanks for all the response. Yes, they are smaller. I checked them with the others I have. I was surprised that these on the back have a smaller opening and the regular ones didn’t fit.

I had several that where no longer attached to the poles. So I removed all of them and replaced the cable with a heavier stainless steel cable and reattached them to the poles.

Thanks Driller. Just bought a pair from Great Lakes. Also, got some more snap screws. Looks like I am going to need a lot of them since that is how my cover snaps on and any bump and they bend.

What do you mean they didn't fit? Didn't fit through the hole or they fit through the hole and you couldn't flip that little nub thingy out because it's awkward and your standing there trying to hold a bimini up?

The hole is smaller on the back when compared to the rest of the binimi top. When I tried the other pins they were too large for the hole.
