THE BOW ROLLER. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR ANCHOR
SAFETY CABLE BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
Aluminum Arch with Bimini Top and Side Curtains
The canvas for Pursuit boats is custom fit to
each boat. The bimini top is designed with a
relatively flat profile and a snug fit. The canvas
is fit to the boat at the factory and the bimini top
must be installed properly in order for the clear
connector and side curtains to fit.
To install the Bimini top, attach the main legs to
the hinges using the quick release pins and
attach the rear of the bimini canvas to the radar
arch. Next, open the bimini and attach the front
bows to the deck hinges on the top of the
windshield frame. Use your body weight on the
front corner of the bimini to pull down and stretch the fabric until the eye on the bow lines up
with the hole in the deck hinge. Secure each eye to the deck hinge with the quick release pins.
The bimini canvas should be stretched tight when both sides of the front bow are secured to
the windshield frame.
Attach the clear connector to the zipper at the front of the top and snap it to the brow and the
top of the windshield frame beginning with the center snaps. If the bimini 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 windshield. 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
side curtains to the zippers on the sides of the bimini and to the front connector. Snap the
curtains to the windshield, deck and outboard snaps on the arch beginning with the forward
snaps on the windshield. If the bimini 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 front bows and the arch.
If you have the optional drop curtain, attach it to the aft bimini top and to the inboard snaps
on the arch. Snap the drop curtain to the deck and cockpit.
The warranty for the arch will be void if it is modified in any way or heavy accessories like
life rafts are mounted to the top. Additionally, if items like radar antennas spotlights and other
accessories are mounted in the wrong location, the warranty could be void. If you intend to
add equipment or make modifications to the arch, you should contact Pursuit Customer
Relations to make sure the equipment you would like to add or the intended modification will
not void the warranty on the top.
