    Bimini - Am I missing somethin?

    I have a Q4 and when the bimini is down, the hinge and rear arm are rubbing on the body of the boat. I'm pretty sure that I may be missing a part here to prevent this. At the moment I wrap a couple of old T Shirts around the hinge to prevent scartching. Looks really lovely:facepalm: Any ideas?

    I am about to replace my prop and have found 2 places here that stock a replacement. Both are aluminium but the Michigan Wheel prop is 25% more expensive. Is it 25% better or should I go with the Quicksilver Black Max prop.:confused:

    Bad Advice? - No option?

    The problem I have is that the brake actuator on my Tahoe trailer is leaking fluid. I cannot get anyone here to repair or replace it and keep being told to disconnect it all together.
