Never:
• stow the canopy wet or damp; allow it to air dry before stowing.
• use abrasives or solvents to clean the canopy; use only mild soap and warm (not hot) water and protect it
with a high quality protectant.
• trailer your boat with the canopy top raised.
To raise the canopy:
1. Attach the supports into their mounts.
2. Remove the canopy boot.
3. Attach the bow straps to their mounting cleats.
4. Attach the stern straps to their mounting cleats.
5. Adjust the canopy’s tension by adjusting the strap buckles.
Make sure the cockpit is well-ventilated when the canopy top is raised.
FISH AND SKI BOATS
Exhaust fumes from engines contain carbon monoxide. A boat with its canvas
raised is more likely to collect exhaust fumes. Avoid brain damage or death
from carbon monoxide. Keep the cockpit well-ventilated. Signs of exposure to
carbon monoxide include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness.
