15. Use straps to secure the front section to the
hardtop and the rear section to the stern cleats
so the sections don’t bounce and cause damage
during transport. Make sure to use padding
between the straps and powder coated frame
to prevent chaffing and damage to the powder
coating.
To raise the Upper Helm Station:
1. Make sure there are no low hanging power
lines near the boat that could come in contact
with the sunshade or upper station frame as
it is rotated to the UP position.
2. Make sure all battery switches are off.
3. Remove the straps and position one person on
the gunnel near the rear of the hardtop and
two in the cockpit.
4. Secure two handling lines to each side of the
sunshade. Then position two people in the
cockpit and one person on top of the hardtop.
5. With everyone in position and ready, slowly
lift the rear section as high as possible. The
two people in the cockpit should lift the sec-
tion using the cradle to increase lifting height.
6. Use the handling lines to continue rotating the
rear section until it is in the raised position.
7. While one person on the hardtop holds the
rear section, another person can lift the front
section until it aligns with the rear section.
8. Raise or lower each section as required to
achieve proper alignment for the pins. Then
lower each section slightly to seat them to-
gether.
9. With the sections aligned and seated, secure
the sections together by tightening the hand
bolts. You may have to adjust the sections
slightly to achieve proper alignment while
starting the bolts.
10. The hand bolts should be torqued as tight as
you can get them by hand. Do not use pliers
or tools to tighten the hand bolts.
Notice:
Periodically coating the hand bolts with Tef-
Gel or anti-seize will lubricate the threads
and make loosening or tightening the hand
bolts easier. It will also prevent galvanic cor-
rosion that could cause the threads to seize.

Securing Upper Station Sections
11. Install antennas and outriggers as required.
Make sure all connection are secured on the
upper station and test all upper helm controls
and equipment before operating the boat.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM LOW HANGING POWER LINES
CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF THEY COME
IN CONTACT WITH THE ALUMINUM FRAME FOR THE
SUNSHADE AND UPPER STATION. ALWAYS CHECK THE
AREA AND MAKE THE BOAT IS A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY
FROM ANY POWER LINES BEFORE RAISING OR LOWERING
THE UPPER HELM STATION.
