Quicksilver 555OP — System & Component Overview and Operation

 

 

14.

 

Canvas (optional)

 

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.

 

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.

Bimini

 

 

NEVER TRAILER THE CANVAS BIMINI IN THE UPRIGHT 

POSITION.

 

The bimini canvas must be secured in the canvas boot with 

the rails in the stored position before trailering.
