Step1

Assemble the frame as pictured below:

Step 2

Cover the area where the mounting feet (06) will be placed with masking tape. This should be done at all points where the bi-

mini will contact and the near surrounding area. This will help to prevent scratches on your boat while adjusting and measuring

your bimini attachment points.

Step 3

When you have determined the correct position mark the positions of both mounting brackets (06) on one side of the boat on the masking tape using the

mountingbracket.!Makesurethemountingbracketsaremountedcompletelylevel(onaatsurface)!

Aftermarkingonesideoftheboatyoucanmarktheothersideusingreferencepointsonyourboat.Makesuretomountthebracketexactontheoppositeof

each other.

Step 4

Before drilling inspect underneath these locations for obstructions such as wires or cables,

also check the accessibility. You are now ready to drill the holes. For this use the drill bit size

4mm.

After drilling the holes you can remove the masking tape. It is recommended to chamfer the

holes using the chamfer drill bit to prevent the gelcoat from cracking.

IMPORTANT: When the BOAT DECK is less than 8mm thick we strongly advise to reinforce the mounting bracket with wood or

breglasscloth.Thistopreventstressontheboatwhichcausesthegelcoattocrack.

WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: Any cracks or other damage to the gelcoat or boat because of mounting the bimini.

Step 5

Supply a small amount of waterproof construction adhesive on the mounting bracket. Mount the mounting bracket on the boat

with the included screws.

(When you need to reinforce the boat deck keep in mind to use longer screws which are not included.)

Step 6

Pick your partly assembled frame up with 2 persons and attach the front legs (04) on the mounts you have already installed on the boat.

After mounting the front legs you can mount the rear legs (05)

Step 7

Place the Sunbrella® top over the frame and zip the Sunbrella® top on the frame.

Note to have the red Jobe label facing the front of the boat.

Also note to fold frame section (03) to the front. this makes the assembly of the Sunbrella® top easier.

Step 8

Attach the nylon straps on the frame (14) and determine where the eye strap should be placed. !Try to keep the nylon strap

parallel to main frame section (04) and keep the strap free from any obstructions! Cover the area where the eye straps will be

placed with masking tape. Mark the spot to drill the holes. Before drilling inspect underneath these locations for obstructions

such as wires or cables, also check the accessibility. You are now ready to drill the holes. For this use the drill bit size 4mm.

After drilling the holes, you can remove the masking tape, it is recommended to chamfer the holes using the chamfer drill bit,

this to prevent the gelcoat from cracking.

First assamble one side of the frame and slide the bimini top on

the frame before assambeling the other half of the frame.

The (size S) Bimini top

67” to 72” / 170cm to 183cm

The (size M) Bimini top

73” to 78” / 185cm to 198cm

The (size L) Bimini top

79” to 84” / 200cm to 213cm

Assamble the bows onto one side of the legs, using the predrilled

holes. Slide the large (main) bow through the sleeve on the back of

the top. Slide the medium bow through the sleeve in the forward

section of the bimini. Insert the last (front) bow in the sleeve of the

bimini top.

Operating under the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of headaches.

give directions. Bear in mind the height in the boat, the windscreen window, additional tower and accessories, wiring, where the shadow should fall etc etc…
