CHAPTER 6

The optional cockpit cover installs
over the windshield and snaps to the
deck. To install the cockpit cover,
start at the bow area. Complete
snapping the canvas to the outside
and then down each gunnel to
amidships.
Cockpit covers normally use
adjustable poles. If installed, their
purpose is to keep the canvas tight
and water out of the interior. There
may be on the underside of the cover a reinforced canvas material with
a snap. This is used to fasten the pole. See illustration. Each pole is
adjustable by opening it to the desired length and latching clamp. You
may fi nd it helpful to mark the poles so their length remains constant
to create a water shed.
Note: Do not pull the vessel on the highway with the cockpit cover
installed as damage may occur. Take down cockpit cover and store
in a dry locker.
