9) Clean canvas with warm water, mild soap and a
soft brush. For the clear Isinglass pieces use a
soft, clean cloth. Be certain to rinse cloth often
to remove any dirt collected in the cloth that
could scratch the clear vinyl.
O - 3 CANVAS INSTALLATION
The canvas top and curtain set which connect to the
top are standard and provide cover/shade for the stern
portion of the cockpit area. It is designed to be fas-
tened to the hard top with the use of a track and
supported with stainless steel bow and support poles.
The aft curtain and side curtains can be installed to
completely enclose the aft cockpit area. Izinglass
(clear vinyl) windows with screens are installed in the
curtains, These windows may be rolled up and
secured to allow ventilation into the cockpit area.
See Figure O1.
Figure O1: Canvas Top & Curtain Set
To install canvas:
1) Orient the canvas top to match the orientation of
the hard top. Ensure the interior seams will be
facing inside. Starting at either end, thread the
opposite end of the canvas through the upper
track of the hard top (#1). Continue feeding the
canvas all the way through the track until com-
pletely threaded. Feed ends of canvas top into the
lower track running down the hard top (#2). See
Figure O2. Once the canvas top is installed in the
tracks, allow it to hang in place.

2) Attach the stainless steel bow to the port and
starboard arch mounts using an adjustable
wrench. See Figure O2.
3) Attach the support poles to the respective port and
starboard deck mounts located at the transom.
Slide the support poles down into the deck mount
and secure with the pin and lanyard. See Figure
O3.

4) Raise the adjustable supports using the button-
release. The button-release lets you slide the inner
and outer tube to longer or shorter settings for a
snug or loose fit. Doing so will make attaching the
top canvas to the bow much easier.
See Figure O4.
