NOTICE
NEVER fold or store a wet weather cover. This
can lead to mildew or shrinkage. Roll rather
than fold the enclosure curtains. Sharp folds
increase the chance of cracking the clear vinyl.
NOTICE
DO NOT use the weather covers during out-
door winter storage. The weight of the snow or
heavy rain can cause severe damage to the
material or top structure. Refer to O-3 Winter
Storage in this manual for more information.
When snapping covers to the boat, apply direct down-
ward pressure on the snap. When unsnapping, rotate
the snap and cover upward at each snap location.
NOTICE
Remove snaps one at a time to prevent dam-
age. DO NOT rip off or pull the weather cover
as a whole; acrylic material may tear at snaps.
A.
Bimini/Camper Top
A bimini/camper top is standard on all the Candia FS
models. This style is a “freestanding” top and sup-
ported only by the bow assembly. Refer to Figure O1.
To install:
1.
Attach the bimini main bow to the windshield mount
on the 234/254 or the deck mount on the 214. The
secondary bows should be loose to allow for adjust-
ment.
2.
Attach the forward nylon straps to the strap eyes
located on the deck.

WEATHER COVERS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Weather covers for the cockpit areas are available on all
Candia FS models. Four Winns® covers are designed
and intended to provide protection of the cockpit seating
areas.
Four Winns® utilizes acrylic-type material for all its cov-
ers. All Sport Boat canvas except mooring covers con-
sist of 100% acrylic material and is color matched to the
boat. The mooring covers are made of 10 ounce acrylic
and come in dark tan (mica) only.
Never use any form of open flame cooking de-
vice while under, in any area fully enclosed, or
near any acrylic weather cover. This material is
flammable.
During the manufacture of the weather covers, the small-
est possible needle and highest quality UV stabilized,
bonded polyester thread is used in the stitching.
The weather cover is water repellant but not water proof.
During a hard rain, you may notice a light mist permeat-
ing through a weather cover. This is normal. If the seams
leak, they can be sprayed with Scotchguard™ or similar
water repellent or a seam sealing compound can be
applied. Keep objects from contacting the inside of the
cover. Leakage may occur at point of contact.
Weather covers must be installed taut or will be dam-
aged by accumulation of rain water.
NOTICE
Periodically check weather covers for accumu-
lation of water. Damage to the bow assemblies
may otherwise result. Make sure cover is taut
to avoid puddling of water.
After use, the top canvas should be rolled up into the
boot (if supplied) and secured.
