Factory Bimini FRAME (NO Canvas), OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) , produced with the same high quality, original 2011-2011 digitized patterns approved by Chaparral® for the 186 SSI: 186SSI bow rider:
Notes:
2011-2011 Chaparral® 186 SSI Model Specific Details:We no longer have the Taylor-Made® canvas or covers for this boat. Chaparral® originally offered the 2011-2011 186 SSI in Black, Marine Blue, Linen Tweed, Jockey Red, Burgundy (Chaparral called this Copper), Sunflower Yellow or Ice Blue (no longer available) Sunbrella® fabric.
Product Details: Framework only. Order canvas and mounting hardware separately. A Bimini-Top stands above the cockpit (not connected directly to the windshield frame), while a Convertible-Top connects to the top of the windshield.
Chaparral® Factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Notes:A laser-engraved, Black Rubber Tag and a White Canvas Tag are sewn into every Ameritex® (we no longer make Taylor-Made®) original-equipment canvas or cover (a laser printed sticker is on each frame), so we need the P/N (Part Number) and DT date code from the Black Tag (or sticker). Zippers on OEM Chaparral® canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Most (NOT All) Boot-Covers have Black or White embroidered Chaparral® logo. Most (NOT All) Chaparral® Bimini and Camper Tops have zippered frame (bow) pockets for easy installation. Chaparral® installed the snaps in the boats, canvas and covers at their factory, so we cannot install the canvas snaps for you because we do not have locations (see Canvas/Snap Installation to learn about installing snaps). We can only sell canvas and covers direct for Chaparral® boats over 2 years old. OEM canvas part number scheme: Ameritex® or Taylor-Made® tags where [xxx] identifies the canvas piece and [ccc] is the color code. Chaparral® HIN = FGBsssssmbyy , where [yy] = model year.
Factory OEM canvas: Taylor-Made® tags
TIP: Be sure to check your existing (and adjacent connecting) canvas pieces (and frames) for:
White Taylor-Made® tags (the tags are approx. 2-3 inches x 4-5 inches),
The Taylor-Made® logo embossed on the heads of the stainless canvas snaps,
The Zipper Size listed above (#8 in most cases) on all zippers.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) patterned for the 2011 Chaparral® 186 SSI: 186SSI bow rider.

WE MUST HAVE THE P/N FROM THE STICKER ON YOUR OLD FRAME TO PROCEED.
Only fits factory OEM Bimini-Top Canvas.
Verify that your old and mating canvas has AMERITEX® or TAYLOR-MADE® on the tags and embossed on the Canvas Snaps AND the correct factory OEM Zipper Size (#8 = 6 teeth/inch in most cases).
