You may choose to run your Candia FS with the bimini
top either fully deployed or folded together (closed) and
secured with the boots provided. Either way it is de-
signed to remain mounted. No storage is provided for
this top in your boat.
NOTICE
If you desire to remove the bimini top (winter
storage), use two people. This will help mini-
mize the risk of injury and help prevent dam-
age to the upholstery, the bimini top, and/or the
boat.
NOTICE
The bimini/camper is a single unit. It can not
be used with any other piece of canvas.
B. Forward Cover
The forward cover is available on 234 and 254 Candia
FS models. It is installed over the bow seating area and
is snapped to the deck and to the cockpit cover at the
walk-through. An adjustable pole is provided to adjust
the canvas for tautness. Refer to Figure O1.
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 only available for the 234 and 254
Candia FS.
To install:
1. Snap the forward edge of the cockpit cover to the
walk-through on the windshield. Windshield snaps
will slide to adjust to the canvas.
2. Secure the rear corners.
a. If the canvas has snaps along the aft edge, se-
cure the corners.
b. If the canvas has shock cords along the aft edge,
attach to knobs as shown in Figure O2.

els, are intended for longer term storage and spread

lation, be sure to support the canvas adequately and
inspect frequently for snow loads or damage will occur.
Refer to O-3 Winter Storage for additional information.
To install:
1. Spread mooring cover over entire boat.

and in the rear cockpit. Be sure the canvas is taut

TRAILERING
High winds encountered during trailering your boat can
severely damage most weather covers. If an extended
trip at highway speeds is planned, the top and other
weather covers should be in the down position or re-
moved entirely. This will prevent damage and loss.
NOTICE
DO NOT tow your boat at highway speeds with
weather covers in place. High winds encoun-
tered during trailering your boat can severely
damage most weather covers. Damage to
weather covers incurred as a result of trailering
your boat is not covered under warranty.
