12.5 Bimini

Instead of a canopy, the boat can be equipped with a bimini top. The bimini is designed to withstand a maximum speed of 7 knots. Always lower the bimini during road transport.

To raise the bimini:

1. Loosen the sliders on the sides of the boat by turning the thumb screws.

2. Lift the bimini out of the canvas garage and slide it to the bow end of the sliders.

3. Tighten the sliders with the thumb screws.

4. Lift the bimini up and attach the straps on the front corners to the eyelets on the windshield frame.

5. Attach the aft corner straps to the fittings near the end of the windshield frame.

6. Tighten the straps so that the bimini becomes tight and firm.

To lower the bimini follow the steps in reverse order.
