Reverse (rear) Fly Extension
When using a high speed mesh top, the fly extension
can also be reversed, passing underneath the mesh
top, to provide additional protection from undesirable
weather conditions.
While the reversed fly extension position can be obtained
with any Lippert bimini top with a zippered front pocket, its
true benefit is best experienced in combination with a high
speed mesh top.
The installation of the reversed fly extension position is
performed in the same manner as outlined for the front,
except the fabric is placed underneath the bimini top
and secured to the rear rails with locking plates for the
stanchions and saddles for the tie-down straps.
1.
With the fly extension already installed and the bimini top
frame and canopy fully extended
—
see Front Fly Extension
procedure
—
unfasten the adjustable tie-down straps from
their front-railing saddles and release the stanchions from
their front-railing locking plates.
2.
Walk the stanchions to the rear of the boat, passing the
fly extension underneath the extended canopy.
3.
Follow steps 17 and 18 of the Front Fly Extension
section to install rear locking plates and tie-down strap
saddles, except as follows:
A.
Place the locking plates as far rearward on the top rails
towards the rear of the boat without interfering with any
obstructions, e.g., doors, furniture.
B.
The stanchions should be positioned at a forward
angle
—
towards the rear of the boat
—
so when the locking
plates are installed a forward and downward tension will
be applied to the fly extension.
