The optional canvas consists of a bimini with frame .
Bimini
When not in use, the bimini can be stored in an aft position where it does not interfere with the use of
the boat. In this position, always make sure that the bimini is secured in the canvas boot. To use the
bimini, remove the canvas boot and rotate the two bimini frames forward and secure the bimini
straps to the deck trail. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BOAT WITHOUT THE BIMINI STRAPS ATTACHED TO
THE DECK.

Ski Pole
The deck plate is a downflooding point. When the ski pole is
not in use, verify that the deck plate is properly installed.
Failure to do so may result in injury or death.
Remove the ski pylon from the base before raising engine to
trailer mode to avoid any damage to the engine cowl.
Only tow water skis or wakeboards. Do not tow parasails,
kits, or other boats. Do not tow more than two persons at
one time. Use caution with skier in tow as rope may snap
back into cockpit when released. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in injury or death.
NEVER OPERATE THE VESSEL WITH CANVAS ENCLOSURE
UNLESS THERE IS VENTILATION THROUGHOUT THE BOAT.
Any forward and aft canvas panels must be removed to
allow air flow through the boat so Carbon Monoxide cannot
accumulate.
