11. Canvas (optional)

The optional canvas consists of a bimini with frame along with vinyl panels which fully encloses the
cockpit.
Bimini
When not in use, the bimini can be stored in an aft position where it does not interfere with the use of
the boat. In this position, always make sure that the bimini is secured in the canvas boot. To use the
bimini, remove the canvas boot and rotate the two bimini frames forward and secure the bimini
straps to the deck trail. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BOAT WITHOUT THE BIMINI STRAPS ATTACHED TO
THE DECK.
Bimini with Enclosure
In addition to the bimini, clear vinyl panels can be installed to enclose the cockpit. Each panel attaches
to the bimini with a zipper and snaps or studs are used to attach to the deck.
NEVER TRAILER THE CANVAS BIMINI OR BIMINI WITH
ENCLOSURE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.
The bimini canvas must be secured in the canvas boot with
the rails in the stored position before trailering.
Before trimming the engine to trailer mode, make sure that
the back bench filler is rotated forward. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the engine and bench seat.

NEVER OPERATE THE VESSEL WITH THE CANVAS
ENCLOSURE UNLESS THERE IS VENTILATION THROUGHOUT
THE BOAT. The forward and aft canvas panels must be
removed to allow air flow through the boat so Carbon
Monoxide cannot accumulate.
