You may choose to run your boat with the bimini top
either fully deployed or folded together (closed) and se-
cured with the boot provided. Either way it is designed
to remain mounted. No storage is provided for this top
in your boat.
NOTICE
If you desire to remove the bimini top (winter
storage), use two people. This will make the
storage process easier along with minimizing
any risk of injury. Using two people will help
prevent damage to the upholstery, the bimini
top, and/or the boat.
NOTICE
Bimini canvas deployment should only be uti-
lized at or below moderate cruising speed (ap-
proximately 0-45 mph). Avoid full throttle op-
eration of boat while having canvas deployed.
Four Winns recommends covering the canvas
with the boot cover 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 consider-
ation when determining operating speed with
canvas deployed.
