TAYLOR MADE SYSTEMS INTRODUCES UNIVERSAL BIMINI MOUNT

GLOVERSVILLE, NY — February 9, 2006 — Taylor Made Systems has expanded its lineup of wakeboard tower products with the introduction of a flexible new universal bimini mounting system for attaching the bimini directly to the tower structure.

The foldable bimini frame is affixed to adjustable clamps, which can be relocated to reposition the bimini top forward or aft for sun protection. Because the mounts are on clamps, there is no need to drill holes in the tower. The same mounting brackets can be used with another top ring, with different leg lengths to give more or less coverage area.

The frame has stainless-steel hinges that allow the front half of the top to sweep back and store beneath the rear half of the tour, then zip into a boot for onboard storage.

"Our market research revealed that mounting a bimini top on boats with a wakeboard tower can be awkward and difficult, so we decided to create a universal bimini top that can easily be fitted with virtually any tower," said Mike Oathout, vice president, sales and marketing, Taylor Made Systems.
