3.
Remove the two center H-brackets from the two primary
bow assemblies
(Fig.14)
. Set the Phillips head barrels, bolts
and plastic washers aside for later use.
4.
Place the H-brackets onto the left and right fence rails at
the previously marked (step 2.B.) locations.
5.
Use an electric or cordless drill with a Phillips drive bit
to install the two supplied Phillips head self-drilling screws
(Fig.22A)
into the mounting holes, securing the H-bracket
(Fig.22B)
to the fence railing
(Fig.22C)
. Repeat procedure for
the other H-bracket.
6.
With the help of another person, lift the frame onto the
pontoon and spring the legs of each rear strut assembly
inward to fit them into the center H-brackets.
NOTE:
The frame is designed to flex enough to
accommodate the proper mounting width.
NOTE:
The adjustable support tubes should be facing
towards the front of the pontoon
(Fig.20)

7.
Reinsert the previously removed (step 3) Phillips head
barrels, bolts and plastic washers into the two H-brackets
(Figs.14-15)
. Refer to steps 1B and C.
Rear (Stern) Support Tubes
Eight-foot canopies require a 72-inch expanse between
the rear and front support bow assemblies. Ten-foot
canopies require a 74-inch expanse
(Fig.15)
. The baseline
rear measurement for either size canopy originates
from the center of the pivot pin in the mounted primary
bow assembly.
Install left and right rear support tubes:
NOTE:
Rear support tubes come pre-assembled to the
primary bows.
1.
Use a tape measure and pencil to locate and mark along
the left and right fence railings
(Fig.23)
:
A.
34” from the pivot pin in the center mounting H-bracket
for an 8-foot canopy or
B.
36” from the pivot pin in the center mounting H-bracket
for a 10-foot canopy.
2.
Install the rear support tube H-brackets:
A.
Remove the quick-release ring pins
(Fig.24A)
from
each rear support tube H-bracket
(Fig.24B)
. Set the
quick-release ring pins aside for later use.
B.
Position the primary bow assembly towards the front
so the attached rear support tubes are safely out of the
way for the installation of the H-brackets.
