SureShade Power Bimini Electric Shade System for Pontoon and Deck Boats

The SureShade Power Bimini (formerly PWR-ARM by Schwintek, Inc.) is a fully automatic bimini top that can be added to virtually any pontoon or deck boat. At the touch of a button, the Power Bimini electrically extends for full shade coverage, adjusts to different positions to block the sun and then easily retracts to stow away within a boot.

Enjoy 30% more coverage than standard bimini tops with our generous 10’ length and widths that adjust to fit pontoon and deck boats between 92” to 102” wide.

Key Features

SureShade Power Bimini

Upgrade your pontoon bimini shade with the SureShade® Power Bimini 

SureShade Power Bimini (formerly known in the market as the PWR-ARM by Schwintek, Inc.) is a fully automated, electric powered shade solution for pontoon boats or deck boats. Never again do you need to leave your seat to adjust your bimini top. Whether you are escaping the summer sun, going under a bridge or pulling in to your boat lift, you now have total control of your bimini with a simple push of a button.

How it Works

Power Bimini features two actuators – one on each side of the boat – to electrically lift open or close the bimini, operating with a toggle switch (typically wired to the helm) to initiate extension or retraction.

With the flip of a switch, you can have the shade you want, where you want, the moment you want it. No more manual operation and setup. No more hassle. No more fumbling with pins in the dark after a long day of boating. Within seconds, you can go from sitting in the shade to soaking up the sun. It’s that easy.

Say goodbye to low-tech bimini tops!

Powerful Innovation

With the SureShade Power Bimini, boaters can automatically adjust their pontoon or deck boat top in seconds with a switch at the helm.

Boaters also have the flexibility to equip their boats with two tops — providing boaters with even more control over their shade, with sun protection coverage on both ends of their boat.

Premium Coverage

Built with a telescoping frame that easily adjusts to fit boats from 92 inches to 102 inches wide, and a 10 foot long canvas — the SureShade Power Bimini delivers 30% more coverage than standard bimini tops.

Built Tough

Equipped with a durable, aluminum frame, marine-grade canvas, and two heavy-duty 12V DC electric actuators — this shade system was engineered to withstand the rigors of the marine lifestyle.

The premium fade resistant fabric combines strength, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability and UV resistance. Canvas is held in place with zippered pockets and a boot is also included to secure the bimini when not in use.

Multiple Configurations
