For those who used the krypt clamps, do these already have holes in them for the taco or do the holes need to be drilled into the clamp? Thanks.

No. You will have to drill and tap them yourself. Pretty simple to do and the tap is available at Lowes / Home Depot. but get two, youll probably break one....

Thanks 11, any suggestions on which screws to use.

You will also need at least one 5/32 drill bit (more is better in case they dull or break). Also you will need a 10-24 Thread Tap to add thread to the mounting holes, I got mine from Sears. Then you will need 8 10-14 X 1/2 stainless screws (Lowes or Home Depot), and some LocTite (I used LocTite Red)


Look back at posts 60 & 61, they should list parts we used.

Thanks KSmith, I knew I read it before but then thought I didn't...I kept on looking at post #60 but not #61. I apologize for asking when the excellent information was already provided. I still haven't decided what I am going to do, drill in tower or buy the clamps. I love the clamp idea, but the cost is a killer.

I finally installed the Monster cargo bimini a few weeks ago. I decided to drill the tower rather than use the clamps. So far we love it, more for the storage of boards than the shade it provides. Here is a pic of it installed, sorry, all i have, taken last weekend. That's my wife in the back with our little one in the red hat that you can barely see. Thanks for all of the input on the install.

Looks pretty good Bob! Yours might be mounted further towards the bow than mine from looking at the pic. Maybe if you moved it toward the stern you would get more shade for the little man?

And get some pics of him posted!
