Fred,
Cutting that rear support bow will move the top forward a bit, which is a good thing. Bimini tops are notoriously wobbly, so moving the top forward would allow you to install some side supports off the side windshield that will substantially stiffen up the top. See pics below. I've subsequently replaced the outer screws with fast-pins that allow the top to be dropped quickly. (Unless I have the VHF antenna up . . . those turnbuckles take a bit to loosen up!) Denny
