WARNING
minum frame that is bolted to the deck. The ski
tow, anchor light, GPS antenna and wet sounds
speakers are located on the tower arch above
the hardtop. The starboard rear leg is used as
the wire chase for lights, speakers and antennas
mounted to the tower.
The tower ski tow is designed for pulling one
average sized skier or wakeboarder. You should
never tow more than one skier or wakeboarder
from the tower arch. Towing more than one skier
will put too much strain on the tower and could
cause damage to the tower and deck. Refer to the
Transom Ski Tow section of this chapter for more
information on using the tower ski tow tting.
Do not mount any heavy equipment to the ber-
glass hard top. The hard top is not designed to
support the weight of heavy accessories and could
be damaged. Make sure to leave the aft section
clear for the tow rope.
The warranty for the hard top or tower will be void
if the structure is modied in any way or if heavy
accessories are mounted to the top. Addition-
ally, if items like antennas, spotlights, wakeboard
racks and other accessories are mounted to the
tower in the wrong location, the warranty could
be void. If you intend to add equipment or make
modications to the hard top or tower, you should
contact Monterey Customer Service to make
sure the equipment you would like to add or the
intended modication will not void the warranty
on the berglass top or the aluminum structure.

Hardtop Canvas Enclosure
Because the aluminum frames vary slightly, the
side curtains, front clear connector and drop cur-
tain are custom made to each boat at the factory.
To install the curtains, close the center section
of the windshield and slide the front clear con-
nector into the slide track at the front of the top
and snap it to the windshield beginning with the
center snaps. The clear connector will have to be
stretched just enough to pull out the wrinkles to
reach the snaps on the windshield.
