Replacement Bow for Dodger and Bimini Frames - Replace a bow in your existing bimini or dodger frame with this Long Bow for 7/8" Stainless Steel Frame. The adjustable frame is made from Type #304 stainless steel 7/8" tubing with 600 grit mirror finish. All tubing bows are prebent in a custom jig mounted on a wall in our shop. To keep shipping reasonable and to allow for greater customization, the bows are cut just beyond each bend creating three sections — two curved and one crowned. The crown in the center bow increases rigidity and improves the appearance of the finished cover.
Assemble the three pieces by inserting splines and riveting in place. Once assembled, the bow has more strength than the uncut original. Sailrite dodger and bimini frames compare very favorably with custom welded frames but cost 2 to 3 times less!
