Mounting Adjustments and Variations:
Your tower bimini is designed to fit many tower variations and features four adjustment points to allow for different tower designs. The center arches/clamps may be adjusted
fore and aft to adjust to your towers depth and overhang at front and rear, extension assemblies may be adjusted in and out of the center arch for width adjustment, and the
adjustable support poles allow three length adjustments and can be mounted with radius mounts in various locations along the back section of the bimini frame.
* As there are many different tower designs, the following installation instructions should be followed as a general guide only.

Determining Mounting Location For Front Radius Mounts:
The use of an assistant is recommended for the following steps. Determine height desired from the floor of your boat to the bimini.
With extension assemblies extended to center of front tower legs, the bimini can be moved up and down to desired height.
Once desired height is established, use a felt tip pen to make a small mark on the tower leg that is centered to the
extension assembly. After bimini is placed safely away from work area, take a measurement from a reference
point on the tower leg you marked, and transfer this measurement to the opposite front tower leg.
*NOTE: Marks should be centered left to right on tower legs.

After assuring that marks are at the same height and centered, center the appropriate radius mount (#8, #9) over each mark and mark the two screw holes (A).
*NOTE: Be sure that radius mount direction is correct, the push button on the mount should face towards the INSIDE of the boat. Drill all four holes with the supplied (#19) #20 drill bit (B)
(a drop cloth may be used to catch shavings). Attach radius mounts with four of the supplied (#5) self tapping #10 screws (C). Mount bimini/extensions into radius mounts. With front clamp
screws loosened, adjust bimini fore or aft to achieve desired overhang at front and rear.

Mounting Rear Radius Mounts and Adjustable Support Poles:
*Before proceeding, make sure that the front extensions are rotated forward in the radius mounts to allow for tilting the back of the bimini downward (A). To allow for optimum adjustment, set
adjustable support poles to the medium length position (center hole) before starting installation. With an assistant holding the bimini level, install one supplied (#5) self tapping #10 screw into the
center hole of all 4 clamps to secure the arches in position (B).Determine mounting position by aligning adjustable support pole to bimini frame and tower.
NOTE: To increase stability of the bimini, rear adjustable support poles should be angled front to back and left to right (C).

When desired placement has been achieved, make a small mark at each end of the adjustable support pole ( one mark on tower, one mark on bimini frame) assuring that the marks are centered.
Take a measurement from a reference point and mark the other side of the tower and bimini frame. After assuring that the marks are in the same position and centered, center a radius mount over
each mark and mark the two screw holes (A). NOTE: Be sure that radius mount direction is correct, the push button on the mount should face towards the INSIDE of the boat. Drill all eight holes with
the supplied (#19) #20 drill bit (B) (a drop cloth may be used to catch shavings). Attach (4) radius mounts with eight of the supplied (#5) self tapping #10 screws (C). Mount adjustable support poles
into radius mounts. Assure that all radius mounts are in the locked position and check tightness of clamp screws. Enjoy your bimini!
