PRO-PARK VERTICAL GUIDES The FLOE vertical guide-in system is designed to guide the boat by its rub rail so it never touches or mars the hull. It has an infinite adjustment range limited only by the width of the lift, to allow for a perfect fit.
Technically, two pairs of single guides would be best to help safely guide the boat into the lift. However, FLOE recommends at least one pair of double guides for the lift’s entry because this style has two vertical guides mounted ahead of the lift structure.
PROPER CANOPY FRAME POSitiONiNg The FLOE canopy system is adjustable vertically and horizontally. Detailed instructions on how to make these adjustments are included with the canopy system. Once the boat’s proper position is known, follow the simple steps below to ensure proper canopy placement as shown in Figs.
