Attaching the Bimini to the Boat
1. Open the bimini top and locate the best position on your boat. In choosing the best
location, remember that the bimini shade is equal distance front and back from center
deck mounts.
2. Mark on your boat where the deck mounts or side mounts are to be placed.
3. Drill 3.2mm holes and screw for deck mounts or side mounts.
4. Attach the bimini to the deck mount fittings.
5. Fold out rear arms and mark the location on gunwhale.
6. Repeat step 3
7. Attach front straps to the bimini stainless steel saddle fittings.
8. Pull out straps and mark position for the stainless steel saddles using saddles to mark
location.
9. Drill 3.2mm holes and screw the two (2) saddles into position.
10. Shorten straps to ensure bimini is tight. Check that all other screws and nuts on bimini
are tight.
