ATTACHING THE CANOPY FRAME
TO THE CANOPY POSTS
Determine the end of the hoist that your
boat will enter the hoist. This is the same
end that the motor stop will be mounted
on. Your boat will then be positioned
on the hoist so that more boat will be
extending forward of the hoist upright
post than what will be extended to the
rear. This is important because you will
want to position the canopy side frames
so that the longer section of side frame
extends to the front as well. This allows
the splice in the side frame to be posi-
tioned more in the center of the support
cups resulting in more strength.
Once the canopy is properly positioned,
raise the canopy frame up and place it
so the side frame tubes are resting in
the support cups on top of the canopy
posts. Position the canopy frame to
the proper position to best protect
your boat by sliding it either forward or
backward in the support cups. Also the
framework should be checked again
for being square. It is possible that this
may have changed in the process of
raising it into position. When the desired
position is achieved secure it to the
support cups by placing the large
stainless steel adjustable hose clamps
around the support cup and the canopy
side frame. Two hose clamps must
be placed on each end of each sup-
port cup. Place the hose clamps so
that the tightening mechanism of the
clamp is located on the inside portion
of the canopy side frame tube. Tighten.
The tightening mechanism is to be lo-
cated in this position so that it doesn’t
interfere with the cover when it is
installed.
NOTE:
The CF30-120 is shipped stan-
dard with the HA0007 Brace Bundle.
The assembly instructions are included
with the brace bundles. These brace
bundles must be installed before the
vinyl is placed on the frame.
INSTALLING THE VINYL COVER TO
THE FRAME
Remove the vinyl cover from the box.
Unroll the vinyl cover down the side
frame as shown. When completely
unrolled, unfold the cover across the
canopy bows and pull down over the
framework.
The bungee cords are manufactured
to the correct length before they are
installed in the cover at the factory.
The installation process is as follows:
Stretch and attach the end loops on the
side frame bungee cords over the rim
of the plastic canopy cord spool hook
attached at the 10 ½” mark.
Stretch and attach the end loops on the
bungee in the end of the canopy to the
canopy cord spool hook positioned at
the 7 ½” mark in a similar manner.
Pull the end bungee cord from the next
slot in the end strap back up and over
the same canopy cord spool hook as
shown. Repeat on the other side of the
canopy.
Hook the center bungee up over the
canopy cord spool hook located at the
top of the 19” canopy spacer tube. Then
hook over the canopy cord spool hooks
at the top of the 16” spacer tubes.
Repeat this procedure on the other end
of the cover making sure the cover is
centered the same on each end.
Starting at the middle of the side frames
front to rear, pull the bungee cord on
the sides of the canopy cover over
the top side of the canopy cord spool
hooks. Alternate from side to side of
the canopy so the cover stays centered
on the frame. Continue until they are all
attached.
Once the bungee has been looped over
all of the canopy cord spool hooks,
check each one for adequate tension.
The bungee can be pulled through the
sewn in pocket so that the tension of
the cord over each spool hook can be
made even the full length and width of
the cover.
Check for tension again. If bungee ap-
pears tight, assembly is complete.
