How to Prolong the Life of
Your Bimini Top
• Avoid letting water or snow stand on the
top.
• Always travel with top in the stored
position inside the storage boot.
• Allow bimini top to dry thoroughly before
folding for storage.
• When properly installed, you can safely
deploy and use your bimini top with a
maximum operating speed of 35 MPH.
Cleaning & Care Instructions
To keep your canvas looking its best, regularly
brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush and
rinse with lukewarm water (100° F maximum).
To clean, a solution of lukewarm water and
mild natural soap such as Ivory™ may be used.
Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. The use
of detergents is NOT recommended as it may
diminish the water repellent finish on certain
fabrics. Never machine wash, dry clean or
iron the canvas. To spot clean stubborn soil or
stains, a solution of 1/4 cup mild natural soap
and 1 cup of bleach per gallon of lukewarm
water may be used. Mist the soiled area and
clean vigorously with a sponge, soft brush
or clean towel. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Always fold down and secure bimini top in
the stored position when trailering your boat.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
Unzip the storage boot, remove all components and set storage boot aside.
Open the canvas so that the underneath side (the side with the label) is facing up
and the ends of the center bow sections are facing out.
Identify the long bow (has attached jaw slides, see photo below). Be sure that the
screw heads on the jaw slides are FACING OUT, lock into place by depressing
the internal spring button stop and sliding it into the tubing until it seats in the
pre-drilled hole.
Assemble the short bows (without jaw slides) connecting as in Step 3.
Connect the assembled long bow to the assembled short bow. Remove the
screws from the jaw slides on the long bow. Raise the legs of the long and short
bows until they meet. Insert the inside eye ends on the short bow into the jaw
slides on the long bow. The inside eye ends are designed to pivot slightly to
ensure alignment into the jaw slide. Re-install the jaw slide screws and tighten.
Invert bimini top to the upright position. Your top is now ready to install!
