Once the clear connector is completely installed, the side cur-
tains 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 and the deck 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 straps and the rear stan-
chions.
If you have the optional drop curtain, attach it to the zipper
on the back of the top and to the rear of the side curtains.
Snap the drop curtain to the deck and cockpit.
There is a panel in the clear connecter that can be rolled up
and secured by straps near the top of the bimini. This roll up
panel allows the walk through feature of the cockpit and wind-
shield to be used when the bimini and clear connector are
installed.
Note: Cold weather can make the clear vinyl material
on the curtains stiff and difficult to stretch to the
snaps. This can particularly difficult 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.
