First assemble your bimini. Slide all bows through the
appropriate sleeves on your canvas. Then attach all bows
to the appropriate support arm on the bimini. These
bows attach by use of a ball and saddle joint. Slide the ball
through the saddle until it stops, then secure the joint from
behind by sliding the tethered pin through the saddle.
Next attach your bimini contraption to your boat. Use the
ball and saddle joints located on your windshield to mount
you bimini to your boat. Slide the ball through the saddle
until it stops, then secure the joint from behind by sliding
the tethered pin through the saddle. Ensure your bimini
can expand forward over the helm before continuing.
Typical Saddle Joint
From the storage position, the next step is to unzip your
bimini from the boot that encloses the canvas. The boot
will need to be stored for future storage purposes. Now
unroll the canvas and extend your bimini out over the
cockpit.
The front of your bimini requires tension to prevent it
from collapsing under the designed conditions. The two
straps positioned on the forward side of the bimini should
be adjusted to the appropriate length and fastened to the
camel back eye strap hardware affi xed to your windshield.
Ensure these straps tightly hold the bimini in place. Your
bimini top can now be used for recreation.
