BIMINI TOP - OPTIONAL
1. Remove the stainless adjustable arms from the
storage area.
2. Unfold the top and install the stainless
adjustable arms (tensioners) into the
quick-disconnect fittings on the deck, forward of
the windshield. Secure the forward arms to the
forward cross members with the pins.
3. Tighten the bimini by twisting the tensioners.
Do not trailer with the bimini top up. Store and
trailer the bimini top in the stowed position, in its
canvas boot.
ENCLOSURE - OPTIONAL
The side curtains and stern curtain attach to the
canopy top and deck. The top must be installed
first.
1. Make sure the bimini top is centered.
2. Start zipping curtains to the bimini and to each
other, but do not zip them completely before
attaching the curtains.
3. Snap the curtains to the windshield.
4. Zip the zippers completely and make sure the
Velcro is overlapping properly.
The supports can be adjusted for a better fit.
Always roll the curtains instead of folding when
storing. Do not use the canopy top, side curtains or
stern curtain for storage. These are for short-term
storage and not designed for long-term storage,
and will not provide adequate ventilation to prevent
mold or mildew from forming. Refer to
Section 5
,
Interior and Exterior Care, for more information.
For long-term storage, see your authorized Cobalt
dealer.
