Final Assembly
1. Use a cordless or electric drill or screw gun and the #10 self-drilling Phillips screws (Fig. 18A) to fasten
all struts and bows together.
2. The middle strut assembly gets two screws as shown in figure 18B. Repeat this process for both sides
(port and starboard).
3. Complete the installation by attaching the canvas to the completed framework. The canvas end with
the notch goes on the rear strut.

The canvas top has securing straps with female snaps located at the bow port and starboard corners and aft
port and starboard corners. Securing straps prevent undue billowing of the top when installing the boot.
Install securing straps as follows:
Note: The male snaps with self-tapping screws are provided by the bimini top (canvas) manufacturer. If
male snaps did not come with the canvas, contact the canvas manufacturer.
1. Starting at one canvas corner, tightly pull and wrap the securing strap around the bimini top
strut(Fig.21).
2. Mark the location of the female snap (Fig. 21) on the strut.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each securing strap.
4. Position the self-tapping screw of the male snap (Fig. 22A) over the previously marked location (step 2)
and use a drill or screw gun to install the male snap into the strut.
5. Wrap the securing strap around the strut as before (step 1) (Fig. 23) then snap the strap in-place.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each securing strap.
