Attach the clear connector to the zipper at the front of the top and snap it to the top of the windshield
frame beginning with the center snaps. If the bimini top is adjusted properly, the clear connector
will have to be stretched just enough to pull out the wrinkles and reach the snaps on the windshield.
The front straps will continue to bear the main load of the top.
Once the clear connector is completely installed, the side curtains can be put on. Attach the side
curtains to the zippers on the bimini and to the front connector. Snap the curtains to the windshield
and the deck beginning with the forward snaps on the windshield. If the bimini is adjusted properly,
the side curtains will have to be stretched slightly to pull out the wrinkles and reach the snaps. The
main load for the top should remain on the front straps and the rear stanchions. Attach the drop
curtain to the zipper on the back of the bimini and to the side curtains. Snap the curtain to the deck
and cockpit.
If you have an aft curtain, it is installed by attaching it to the zipper on the back of the bimini and
to the side curtains. Then snap the curtain to the deck beginning with the front snaps and work
towards the stern.
Note: Cold weather can make the clear vinyl material stiff and difficult to stretch to the
snaps. This can particularly difficult with new canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Laying the curtains in the sun for 30 minutes during the heat of the day will
make installing them much easier in cold whether.

Swim Platform
Your boat is equipped with an integral swim platform and engine mounting system located in the
stern of the boat. There is an inspection deck plate in the transom engine well to provide access
to the stern bilge and engine mounting bolts. Always make sure the plate is secure before operating
your boat.
Boarding Ladder (Optional)
The optional boarding ladder is mounted to the
side of the cockpit, underneath the gunwale,
when it is in the stored position. To use the
ladder, remove it from the storage clips and slide
the studs into the special bracket on the port side
of the transom. The ladder floats and must be
secured in the boarding position by turning the
cam lock on the ladder so it catches the bottom
of the transom ladder bracket. The ladder must
be removed from the transom bracket and prop-
erly secured to the storage clips before starting
the engine.
