FRAME ASSEMBLY:
1. Locate all of the Frame components
(Part N° 1,2 ) Figure 1
2. From bag A containing the black
plasc parts remove the four joining
knuckles. Using the 8G x 1/2” pan-
head, screw the joining knuckle
marked “A” (Figure 2) To each of the
bent main bow pieces (Part N° 1)
making sure that the nut recess is
facing outward and the screw head
is inwards. (Figure 3) NOTE: The holes
might need to be drilled out with a
3.5mm drill bit.
4. Aach the joining knuckles labeled
“B” (Figure 2) to the top of the
straight components. (Part N°2)
(Figure 3 & 4) Making sure to line up
the hole in the knuckle with the pre
drilled hole in the aluminum tube
and that the nut recess is facing out-
ward. You should have a mirror pair
of canopy ends. Figure 4
5. Screw the four plasc press studs to
the out side of the main bow legs
using the supplied countersunk 8G
screws. Figure 5
6. Screw the 4 stays (Part N° 7) to each
joining knuckle.
You should now have two halves
which look the same as Figure 6
7. Slide on the 4 sliding knuckles to the
boom of the legs (Part N° 1 & 2)
with the nut recesses facing out-
wards. Figure 6

8. Take the 4 bent end bow sides (Part N°4 &
5) and place them in pairs with the plasc
insert Figure 7 facing downwards. Now
screw on the bow knuckles making sure
that the nut recesses are facing outwards.
Figure 8
9. Screw the end bow sides (Part N°4 & 5) to
the 4 stays and sliding knuckles using the 4
cam leaver assemblies. Figure 9. Make sure
that the two stainless tube ends (Part N° 5)
are connected to main bow side. Figure
10.
10. Lay the two halves of the “A” frame on the
ground/work bench and layout the fabric
top as shown in Figure 11. NOTE: The top is
inside out with the brand facing the
ground. Make sure that the two Main bow
legs are facing upwards.
11. Take the two end bow joiners (Part N° 6)
and slide them through end pockets of the
fabric top, leaving the holes on each end
exposed. Figure 12

12. With the holes lined the same as Figure 13
you can now slide the end bow joiners and
the main bow joiner (Part N°3) onto the
two frame assemblies. Note: The center
joiner must be sing on top of the fabric
Figure 14
13. Take the four 3mm at bar pieces and slide
them down each side of the center pocket
making sure that the holes line up with the
cutouts. Figure 15 & 16
14. Using a 4mm drill bit drill out the inner
tube to match the holes in the joining tubes
(Part N°3 & 6). Bolt the two end bows to-
gether using the 4mm x 30mm buon head
screws from bag C. Figure 17 Note: Make
sure the heads of the bolts are on the out-
side of the frame. Figure 18
15. Using the 4mm x 40 buon head screws
from bag C bolt the center joiner together.
Making sure to go through both pieces of
3mm at bar. Figure 19 NOTE: LEAVE
BOLTS LOOSE
16. Lubricate the four legs with the supplied
silicone wipes. Figure 20

16. Mark the center of the area you
would like the Kingsher Canopy to
cover.
17. Measure 250mm each side of
this mark. This is the centre of the
deck mounts (part D).
18. Decide whether the canopy will fold
down to the front or the back (check
it will lay at in your chosen posion
- alter as necessary).
19. Make sure the mounts are posi-
oned at the correct width
(Kingsher Canopy frame will ex 50
inwards -100mm outwards if need-
ed).
20. Place the deck mount (part D) in po-
sion and mark holes for drilling.
Drill the holes through the gunwale
using a 5.5mm bit.
21. Place the deck mounts in posion
and bolt them down (using parts A, B
& C). N.B. Take care not to strip Phil-
lips head in bolt A, and lubricate bolt
A to avoid binding bolt to nut.
22. Now you can t the Eclipse Canopy
to the deck mounts. The Kingsher
logo on the canopy should be at the
back of the boat.
23. Before opening canopy apply some
silicone spray/wipes to the legs and
make sure that the fabric is covering
the corners of the end bows.

24. Make sure that the fabric is pulled over
all corners of the end bows. Figure 23
25. Open the canopy by releasing the four
cam leavers at the boom of the legs and
pulling out the two end bows.
26. With the canopy now open make sure
that the top sides come down an equal
amount past the press studs on both
sides. Figure 24
27. Now fully ghten the 4mm x 40mm
Buon head screws connecng the top to
the main bow.
28. With the side stretched over the press
stud mark out the posion with a pencil.
Figure 25
29. Take a Stanly knife and cut a 5mm cross
in the fabric for the press stud. NOTE:
Cung this while stretched over the
press stud will help prevent over cung
the fabric. Figure 26
30. Put the snap part of the press stud into
press stud base already on the frame.
Figure 27 Now place the stem of the cap
through the fabric and line up with the
hole of the press stud. Figure 28 Using a
hammer join the two haves together. Fig-
ure 29
31. With the top open screw the fabric to the
frame in each corner through the plasc
inserts with the 8g 1/4” self tapping
screws. Figure 30
32. NOTE: If the press stud is too loose this
can be xed by placing some thin plasc
in between the press stud base and Stud.

32. Find the bunji cord with the two
hooks aached. Figure 32
33. Fit the travel sock to the canopy and
fold it down at to the boat.
34. Clip one end of the cord to the sup-
plied loop on the canopy cover. Pull
the cord down to the chine rail with
appropriate amount of tension to
hold the canopy down but sll allow
you to easily unhook the cord. Cut
the cord at this length.
35. Now aach one of the hooks to this
end by rst placing the collar onto
the cord and then pung the hook
over the cut end unl it stops. Then
slide the collar over the hook unl it
locks into place. Figure 33 Repeat
for the other side.
36. Finished sock and cord should look
like Figure 34
