When snapping covers to the boat, apply direct
down ward pressure on the snap. When unsnap ping,
rotate the snap and cover upward at each snap
location.
NOTICE
Remove snaps one at a time to prevent
damage. DO NOT rip off or pull the weath er
cover as a whole; acrylic material may tear at
snaps.
A. Bimini Top
A bimini top is available on most Scarab models. This
style is a "freestanding" top and is supported only by
the bow assembly. Note: This style of canvas when
deployed permits most occupants the ability to stand
and walk about the cockpit while the boat is at rest.
To install:
1. Unboot and attach the bimini main bow to the deck
mounts (if not already done).
2. Extend the forward portion of the bimini and attach
the forward brace rods to deck mounts. If straps
are used instead of forward brace rods, attach
straps to the strap eyes mounts on the deck.
3. Extend the rear portion of the bimini and attach the
stern brace rods to the deck mounts (if applicable).
4. If applicable, attach the stern cross-brace to the
stern portion of the main bow and then to the port
stern brace rod.
5. If straps are used instead of forward brace rods,
Adjust the forward straps and secondary bow
couplers for tautness if necessary.
6. Snap forward windshield connector (clear visor) to
wind shield (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 applicable to your model, snap into storage clips for
safe keeping while booted.
Care and Maintenance - Section E
You may choose to run your Scarab 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 provided
for this top in your boat.
NOTICE
Use two people to remove the bimini top
(winter storage). This will help minimize the
risk of injury 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 0-40 mph). Avoid full
throttle operation of boat while having canvas
deployed. Scarab 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. Forward Cover
The forward cover is available for the Scarab models
and must be ordered with the cockpit cover. It is
installed over the bow seating area and is snapped to
the deck. An adjustable pole is provided to adjust the
canvas for taut ness and prevent the build up of water.
NOTICE
The front center snap of the forward cover
should be centered on the center bow stud at
the bow. The front center snap is located at the
front of the forward cover at the center seam.
C. Cockpit Cover
The cockpit cover is used to cover the complete
cockpit area and is intended as a short term storage
cover. The cockpit cover is available on most Scarab
models.
To install:
1. Snap the forward edge of the cockpit cover to the
bottom edge of the wind shield track. Snaps can be
adjusted on the windshield track if necessary.
