You may have poor connection to the electric actuator, or the actuator itself is bad. See if there is a way to check if the actuator itself is getting power.0

2016 AP 240 Elite with electric bimini....it is stuck in the up position and I need to get my boat out and trailered to storage. Guessing bad motor, brushes, or actuator....but is there any sort of manual release or workaround I can use to put it down manually ASAP? I can troubleshoot the motor in the winter. Thanks!0

I am sure you have this all figured out by now. Maybe if someone else has this issue this may be of some help.
I recently bought a 2022 aquapatio and the Bimini top stopped working. I called the dealer, they asked a few questions about if the breaker had tripped. the up/down button for the Bimini was connected to the same circuit breaker that the cup chiller was on and it was working. they wanted me to bring it in. thats a 2 hour trip one way. So, I asked if there would mind if I tried to troubleshoot it myself. I was told it was ok to do so and would not void any warrantee. I started testing the switch and there was no power. started trying to follow the wiring as best as I could. Couldn't see a **** thing so I looked at the wire colors hoping that that would give me clues next to the battery, turns out, I was right. let me directly to a FUSE. no one knew it was fused? it was also marked as "Arch 15 amp" and not Bimini like I would have thought. replaced the 15A fuse, and it worked. took the boat out the next day, Bimini wouldn't work. Fuse blew again, replaced, worked, the blew another fuse. I called the dealer, they told me to replace the 15A fuse with a 20A. So far, raised and lowered 3 or 4 times and it has worked. The higher amperage also allows it to work a bit faster as well.
I hope this helps someone.

You should be able to remove the end cap and there is a set screw in there that should release the arm. Have someone hold the frame so it does not fall into your rails.0

I have a 2022Godfrey Sweetwater Xperience 2286 SBX. Do they make a powered Bimini top for this model? My dealer doesn’t seem to know.0

I purchased a 2023 Godfrey Sweetwater Tritoon and electric Bimini stopped working. Today went dow but would not go back up. Sounds like the motor does not have power to move it0
