The 

DOWN POSITION

 is where the 4

th

 arch would rest with the rear support foot installed.  

Pick a location that is clear from passengers and similar to the bimini being replaced as typical. 

3.

 

The 

NAVIGATION LIGHT

 is not provided.  The existing navigation light is used and wires 

routed through the 4

th

 arch and riser.  The autobimini lite canvas and boot has provisions (sewn 

holes) to support the navigation light installation.  Cable grommets for wire routing are provided 

in the aluminum frame. 

 

Navigation light installed on 4

th

 arch.  Access holes are built into canvas and boot 

 

4.

 

The autobimini lite 

REVERSING CONTACTOR

 should be mounted near the battery.  The 

circuit breaker needs to be within 7 inches of the battery  positive (+) post  based  on marine 

electrical codes. 

5.

 

The 

REAR ARCH BRACKET

 mounting location determines how far the front(1

st

 arch) travels 

down.  The 

closer

 the rear arch bracket is to the actuator, the 

further down

 the bimini front or 

1

st

 arch will travel.  Pontoon boats do not travel “flat”.  Thus, the user can select the desired 

position. 

6.

 

Two 

ACTUATORS

 are provided.  The marine grade actuator cable provided has: 

a.

 

Two (2) motor power wires of sufficient gauge to reduce voltage drop. 

b.

 

Enough marine grade cable to run inside the playpen and underneath the pontoon to the 

contactor  location.  Attention to routing the actuator cable is suggested prior to 

installation.  The marine grade cable doesn’t have to route inside the playpen aluminum. 

 

7.

 

The 

CONSOLE SWITCH

 is a momentary switch.  The console switch allows for pushbutton 

operation at the control console located in the helm. 

8.

 

The most difficult installation tasks are: 

a.

 

Locating the actuators in the correct position.  Clamps can be used to ensure the 

mounting location is correct before drilling any holes.  Wiring and operating the actuators 

before a final installation is suggested to ensure correct and proper operation  before 

routing all the wires through the pontoon.
