Assembly Instructions for
Canopy (CP) for SE9
The canopy is a common design requiring minimal assembly. It was designed for inflatable
boats but it will fit many small boats that are approximately 5’ to 6’ wide including
non-inflatables.
Kit includes:
1 - Canopy Canvas
2 - Side Rod with straps and locking
buttons
2 - Curved Bar with button holes
2 - Glue-On Pad for Inflatable Boats
Hardware: 2- 50mm x M6 screws, 2-
Nylon bushing, 4- flat washer, 2-
knobs, 2 - Plastic Plates
Canvas and Frame Assembly
Lay out the canvas so it is upside down (shiny side up) and the sleeves are visible at the front
and rear of the canvas. Lay the front curved bar on top with the button holes facing up. The
holes for the rear bar must face down. Then slide the bars into the sleeves.

Assemble Frame
Next attach the side rods to the curved bars. Flip the rear
bar over and pull the front bar over the top of the rear bar
until the ends line up.
Hold the side rod so the shorter rod is on top.
Slide the side rods into the curved bars. The locking
buttons will pop up through the holes to form the frame.
Attach Side Bars to Built-In Handles or Oarlock
Push the nylon bushing through the rod eyelet. Nylon bushing can be difficult to push through
eyelet in the rod end. Use a hammer or place a coin against the bushing and push hard until
seated.
●Run the long bolt (50mm) through the nylon bushing and plastic eye.
●Place rod against handle so the bolt goes through the handle.
●Place the square plate over the bolt from inside.
●Secure with the threaded knob. Washers are not required, but can be used if the bolt is
long enough.

When the side rods are scure, clip rear straps to oar
clip where rope runs clip.
Pull canopy up by front straps and clip straps to rope
grommets on either side of front carry handle.
Use the tensioning buckles to adjust the canopy so it
is roughly level. Pull curved rod to stretch canopy as
you take up slack with the buckle.
If strap is too long, wrap strap around bar once
before clipping into grommet.
