Camper Canvas; Full Canvas - Four winns FREEDOM Owner's Manual

3. Extend the rear portion of the bimini and attach the
brace rods to the secondary bow (if applicable).
4. If applicable, attach the stern brace rod to the stern
bow (secondary) and then to the stern (angled) deck
mount.
5. Adjust the forward straps and secondary bow cou-
plers for tautness if necessary.
6. Snap forward windshield connector (clear visor) to
windshield (if applicable). Starting at the walk-thru
windshield may prove to be easiest. Windshield
snaps can be adjusted to match snaps in canvas.
7. Zip forward windshield connector section to the bimini
top.
To close and boot (mounted storage) the bimini, reverse
the procedure described above. Brace rods, if appli-
cable to your model, snap into storage clips for safe
keeping while booted.
You may choose to run your Freedom™ and Horizon™
with the bimini top either fully deployed or folded together
(closed) and secured with the boot provided. Either way
it is designed to remain mounted. No storage is pro-
vided for this top in your boat.
NOTICE
Use two people to remove the bimini top (winter
storage). This will help minimize the risk of in-
jury and help prevent damage to the upholstery,
the bimini top, and/or the boat.
NOTICE
Aft/Main bimini canvas deployment should only
be utilized at or below moderate cruising speed
(approximately 0-30 mph). Avoid full throttle op-
eration of boat while having canvas deployed.
Four Winns recommends booting the canvas
before running at or close to maximum speed.
In so doing you will help to maintain the life of
the canvas and hardware. Also, the wind should
be taken into consideration when determining
operating speed with canvas deployed. The
boat speed plus (+) wind speed should not be
exceed 40 mph.
B. Camper Canvas
The camper canvas is an option available on certain Ho-
rizon™ models which encloses the cockpit area and al-
lows for overhead space. The camper utilizes the exist-
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner's Manual
ing bimini top and forward connector. Covers roll up to
expose the window screens. See Figure O2. Your Four
Winns dealer can assist you with your canvas selection
as well as the installation.
To install:
1. Install bimini top and forward connector as previously
instructed.
2. Zip in the bimini side curtains to the bimini top. Snap
canvas to windshield beginning at forward edge.
3. Zip the camper side curtains to the bimini top and
bimini side curtains. Snap the edge portion of these
curtains to the deck. It may prove easiest to start
snapping the curtains at the forward portion of the
canvas and work your way down along the deck.
4. Unroll the aft camper curtain and zip the curtain to
the camper.
5. Depending on which the model you have either snap
the bottom portion of the aft curtain to the transom
and/or attach shock cords to deck.
