Step 5 Continued
With deck hinges in place, remove holding screw and insert eye-end from
A-Bow into deck hinge – aligning holes. Replace screw and secure – repeat
for other side.
Step 6: Install Eye Straps for Tie-Down Straps
Pull the Tie-down straps (from rear Bows) toward the stern of the
boat, angling away from the back of the top to determine mounting location
for the eye straps. Make sure there is room for adjustment. Locate and mark
the holes for the eye straps. Before drilling with the 5/32” drill bit, check area
below the mounting location is free from cables or other obstructions. Care-
fully drill the holes and secure eye straps with #10x1” screws. Do not overti-
ghten.
Secure dog snaps on tie-down straps to eye straps and tighten adjuster
buckle. Straps should be even and top should remain centered and taunt on
the frame.
