f. Choose the shortest standoffs you can, so the room you have to walk around your console is maximized. g. Position your standoffs as high on the console as possible. Higher mounting provides increasingly better support to the Ttop canopy. h. Be sure to leave at least 1-1/4 inches of ”hand hold grab-clearance” especially around the front upright tube near the windshield. 5. Locate your upright feet close to the console sides, on strong deck suitable to carry the stress the Ttop will

Installing the Canopy Cover: The first step in assembling your Ttop is to lace on the Sunbrella cover (purchased separately in the color of your choice). Since you are installing a new Ttop, you will find lacing the cover is much easier if you do it on a table before mounting the canopy frame onto the uprights. Or you may choose to wait until after the Ttop is fully installed and do the lacing while standing on your boat’s gunnels. If possible, work in a clean open area as you will

(with some downward pressure a drill in reverse will cut into gel coat, but in reverse there is no risk of the bit accidentally catching and biting into your boat deeper than you intended.)
