Default Need some help stabilizing a bimini top

The Arch does nothing to prevent sway, except get in the way. The
attachments of the frame to the Arch do not affect it's stability, pro
or con. Vic is right.

Not relevant as I am sure he does not have a radar arch on his 22 foot
bowrider.


Why not relevant? The lateral brace doesn't care about the arch.
Probably doesn't even know it exists.

Your frame is partially attached to the radar arch. The arch also prevents
significant sway of the frame. ;-)
