    Never trailer your boat with the convertible/bimini canvas (including side curtains, aft curtain, windshield connector, bow cover and cockpit cover) up. Monterey Boats’ canvas is not designed to withstand the high wind loads of trailering. Severe wind damage can occur such as torn material, fastener pull-out and frame distortion.
  • Page 12 When trailering, dismantle, roll or fold and securely stow all canvas to prevent damage. Monterey recommends purchasing a transportation cover to keep your boat clean on the road. Your Monterey Dealer will assist you in finding a suitable cover (not available from Monterey Boats).
