Bimini cover 94 tournament 192 screw??

[jaykolkmann]

I just purchased a 94 tournament 192. It came with the Bimini cover, but there’s no screw to attach it to the sliding frame that’s attached to the boat. If that makes sense. I’m looking for the screw size to attach the Bimini to the boat. Is it just a standard thumb screw for all Biminis that will fit ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated this is my first post in new here!

If the slide track is mounted flat on top of the gunnel, you need these in the track, and the eye on the bottom of your bimini frame goes in this piece.

If the track is mounted on the vertical surface, you need this.

If you really just need the pin/screw, 1/4 X 24 X 1" would be a good start.

I think he is referring to the screw with a knob. If so, they are usually 1/4-20 thread like this

Yup - standard issue stuff.

I wouldn't use a "standard thumb screw", though. The kind you find at hardware stores will typically be regular steel.

Thanks everybody it’s mounted to the side and everything is still intact so I literally just need the thumb screw.. I just wasn’t sure if it was a specific size or not. thanks again!

I have found that I use one of these a lot. Saves trial and error. Has male and female gauges and then all you need to decide is head shape/type and length. Get metric and SAE. Definitely use stainless.

If you buy a bimini mounting knob in a marine store it is most likely stainless steel. Do not use anything else.
