Instructions
Please note that every boat is dierent and will require some tweaking of the shade and the shade attachment
points for optimal use. The following installation steps and diagrams are to be used only as a general guide for all
of our shade sizes and outrigger bases. Please also note that the GEMLUX outrigger bases and poles have been
designed to withstand the specific forces applied by the GEMLUX shade system. No other brands of outrigger
base should be used, and doing so could cause substantial damage.
1. Position and secure your outrigger bases so that they point 22.5 degrees outward from directly aft.
2. Insert and secure the two poles to the outrigger bases. Depending on the pole you are using this may require
you to insert pins through the poles and bases or simply twist the poles clockwise until tight.
3. Locate the two parallel sides of the shade. Orient the shade so that the narrower parallel side is adjacent to the
T-top and the wrapped edges of the shade are facing down.
4. Attach one corner of the wider parallel side of the shade to the attachment point near the tip of the first pole.
5. Adjust the length of the first pole so that the narrower parallel side is the desired distance from the T-top. The
pole length can be easily adjusted by rotating the textured grip of the clamp counterclockwise, extending or
retracting the outermost pole, and rotating the textured grip of the clamp clockwise until tight.
6. Adjust the length of the second pole to match the first.
7. Attach the second corner of the wider parallel side of the shade to the attachment point near the tip of the
second pole.
8. Adjust the straps on the two attached corners so that they are the same length and the shade is substantially taut.
9. Extend the strap from one of the two remaining corners of the shade, following the direction of the sewn-
in buckle, to find an acceptable installation location for the first eye strap. Ask a friend to help you hold the
shade up in the future location to make sure it is where you want it. Install the first eye strap with proper 316L
fasteners, through-bolted and secured with washers and acorn nuts. All components should be bedded with
3M 5200 or similar.
10. Repeat step 9 with the last corner of the shade and the second eye strap.
11. Connect the two corners of the narrower parallel side of the shade to the eye straps.
12 Adjust the two straps connected to the narrower parallel side so that they are the same length and the shade is
substantially taut.
For quick and easy install after the desired strap lengths are determined, it is usually easier to use the plastic
buckles to install or remove the shade so that the strap length can remain unchanged. If you label both sides of
each buckle they can easily be matched at a later date.
