on the rear of the arch.
Open the top by pulling
the main bow towards
the rear of the boat until
it stops. Remove the
quick release pins on the
deck hinges for the stan-
chions that are mounted
on the arch and release
the Velcro straps secur-
ing the stanchions to the
main bows. Then attach
the adjustable stanchions to the deck hinges.
Secure each stanchion socket to the deck hinge
with the quick release pins. Use your body weight
on each rear corner of the top to pull down and
stretch the fabric until the spring loaded button in
the inner stanchion tube lines up with the hole in
the outer stanchion tube and locks into place. The
top canvas should be stretched tight when both
stanchions are locked in the out position.
To open the front top, remove the boot on the front
portion of the top and zip the top to the zipper
on the front of the arch. Release the stanchions
from the lower deck hinges and open the top
it by pulling the main bow towards the front of
the boat until it stops. Use your body weight on
each side of the top bow to pull down and stretch
the fabric until the stanchion socket will fi t into
the upper deck hinge on the forward side of the
arch. Repeat on the other side and secure each
stanchion socket to the deck hinge with the quick
release pins. The top canvas should be stretched
tight when both stanchions are secured in the up-
per deck hinge.
Attach the clear connector to the zipper at the
front of the top and snap it to the top of the wind-
shield frame beginning with the center snaps. If
the top is adjusted properly, the clear connector
will have to be stretched just enough to pull out
the wrinkles and reach the snaps on the wind-
shield. The front bow will continue to bear the
main load of the top.
Once the clear connector is completely installed,
the side curtains can be put on. Attach the forward
side curtains to the zippers on the sides of the top
and to the front connector. Snap the curtains to
the windshield, deck and arch beginning with the
forward snaps on the windshield. If the top is
adjusted properly, the side curtains will have to
be stretched slightly to pull out the wrinkles and
reach the snaps. The main load for the top should
remain on the bows and the arch.
If you have the optional drop curtain and rear
enclosure, attach it to the zippers on the rear of
the top and side curtains. Then snap the drop
curtain to the arch and deck beginning with the
forward snaps on the arch. A zippered door on
the port side of the drop curtain provides access
to the cockpit when the canvas is installed.
The side curtains and clear connector should
be stored either rolled or fl at, without folds or
creases. Folding the curtains will make permanent
creases that could cause the vinyl to crack.
Note: Cold weather can make the clear vi-
nyl material on the curtains stiff and
diffi cult to stretch to the snaps. This
can be particularly diffi cult with new
canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Laying the curtains in the sun
for 30 minutes during the heat of the
day will make installing them much
easier in cold weather.
Fiberglass Arch
A fi berglass arch is installed as standard equip-
ment.
It is designed to accommodate the canvas
top, radio antennas, radar antennas and naviga-
tion lights. It is equipped with courtesy lights
activated by a switch in the helm, speakers and
grab rails.
The warranty for the arch will be void if it is modi-
fi ed in any way or heavy accessories like life rafts
are mounted to the arch. Additionally, if items like
radar antennas spotlights and other accessories
are mounted improperly or in the wrong location,
the warranty could be void. If you intend to add
equipment or make modifi cations to the arch, you
should contact your dealer or Monterey Customer
Service to make sure the equipment you would
like to add or the intended modifi cation will not
void the warranty on the arch.
