where can I purchase the curved stabilizer bar for my bimini top??

levmac

hello...I have been looking for the rear curved stabilizer bar for my bimini top. I have a 2013 211 (used) and it is missing that rear support pole.  I have checked on Overtons, West Marine, ect.  any help with the part number or where I can get that piece??  Also...anyone know how many gallons the fresh water holding tank is in the 211?  need to add a bit of bleach to keep clean but do not want to add too much.  thanks

The bimini support would be available through any Hurricane Dealer (not sure who makes the bimini top so I can't be of help on the aftermarket side).  Since you bought the boat used and probably don't know a Hurricane Dealer, you can go on the Hurricane website home page, on the upper right corner of the page is the "Dealer Locator" button, type in your zip code and it will list the Dealer closest to you.  It would be a good idea to get to know a Dealer anyway, since you have warranty time left.

The fresh water system on your model has a 13 gallon tank.  You may have your own bleach formula you like to use, I've had good luck using a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon mixture in the Northeast.

Thanks for the info...I will try and go through the dealer for that part. Unfortunately... even though my used (new to me) boat is a 2013, Hurricane does not provide a transferrable warranty. So I am on my own for the boat (although I was able to transfer the Yamaha O/B warranty) and any repairs.  I really wish Hurricane would reconsider that warranty issue. I don't think that is a very well known fact that the warranty in nontransferable  because even the Hurricane dealer I purchased the boat from incorrectly advised me that I would have the remainder of the factory warranty...which was a huge selling point. I love the boat...just would sleep better at night if I had a warranty.  Also...thanks for the info on the fresh water tank.  I will try your formula for the bleach mixture.

Levmac,

MY SD2000 did not have a curved bimini support rod, so I cut a piece of stainless and installed a straight one and it works fine. I'll try to find a jpeg and attach to this message. I used quick release clevis pins on both the top and the Hull for mounting the support rod.

The only picture I could find of it isn't very good, but you can get the general idea of what it looks like. Good luck!

@levmac ... you should be able to get that support rod through the dealer with no problem. 

On the non-transferable warranty, that seems pretty standard for boats mainly due to the unfortunate truth that some people just don't take good care of their boats. Some folks just leave them outside, uncovered, uncleaned and unmaintained. Kind of tough to warranty something like that you don't have any control of.

thanks for the info on the pole. On the warranty issue... I understand the reason why the warranty is nontransferable...It is unfortunate that a lot of people do not take care of their boats and I see the point but you would think that the motor manufactures would be the ones most concerned with having to honor a warranty from a previous owner not the hull manufacturer.  I have seen plenty of new owners trash their new boat!  either way...it is what it is.  I was able to save some money going used instead of new so that should off set any expense of something going wrong( minus a major hull issue).  And Hurricane has such a great boat...I serious doubt that would ever happen.  Besides...I guess if I was all that concerned with not having warranty...I should have shucked out the money and bought a new hurricane.

Don't know what kind of engine your Hurricane has, but I believe all the motor manufactures allow transferring of the remaining warranty to a new owner.

Mercury is one manufacturer that allows transfer to a new owner.  Not sure what power you have, but here's what's stated on their site just as an FYI.  As "callforbids" states, I'm sure our manufacturers do the same:

If I purchase a used engine or boat from someone, can the warranty be transferred to me?

To transfer the remaining factory warranty into the new owner’s name, please fax a copy of the bill of sale to 920-907-6663, email to [email protected], or mail to:

Mercury Marine
Registration & Warranty Dept.
P.O. Box 1939
Fond du Lac, WI  54936-1939

Be sure the following information is included on your bill of sale:

• Date the engine was purchased
• Engine serial number
• Your name and address
• Your telephone number

hey guys...thanks for the comments.  I have a 2013 Yamaha 150 OB.  I was able to transfer the motor warranty but not the hull warranty which would have been nice. I guess I will keep my fingers crossed nothing major goes wrong.  thanks again

I too am having trouble finding this curved 1" stainless stabilizer bar.  I have tried the dealers around and have had no luck.  I realize that one could cut a pole to length but with this being straight it would limit ones ability to easily access the rear of the boat.  Fortunately my hardware is still mounted I am just missing this curved bar.  Now I know why it was taken.

Welcome to the Hurricane Owners forum!

Just an FYI, since this thread is a year old, we usually like new threads to be started even though the subject is the same, no harm done.

I have some questions.  What year and model Hurricane do you have?  Did you contact a Hurricane dealer, if you did, what did they actually tell you about ordering the part?  

Hurricane has been using that curved support for a long time (my boat has it as well), I'm confused if you haven't been successful in obtaining one from a dealer.
