Note: When the top is not in use, store collapsed and in the provided boot to reduce premature sun damage and fading.
Q: What are the 2 support poles used for? A: The rear support poles are typically only used when there is no space in the rear of the boat for the top to stow away. Instead, the top is collapsed and stowed in the "up" position. It is also generally desired when installing to railing, because there is no support behind the rails for the collapsed top to fold down and "sit" on. *4 mounts - required when using support poles
Q: What takes the place of the support poles, if not used? A: In most cases, the use of the support poles are not necessary, and the top folds down and stows in the rear of the boat. This top includes 2 extra straps that are used in the rear that take the place of the poles. *2 mounts used.
Choosing the type and quantity of mounts:
~ Special Note: Rail mounting is required for the classic 16'/17' hull because the width of the gunnels exceed the maximum mounting width of this top. Additionally, the railing gives this top added height for better head clearance. This means that stainless arms will be used in the stern instead of black straps and the top will rest on those arms in an upright position over the boat when not in use. Side mounting or gunnel mounting is required for the 130 Sport.
- If using support poles: You will need 4 mounts in any combination. For example, you can use rail mounts for the main "center" mounting point & then use gunnel mounts for the rear poles.
- If not using support poles: You will only need 2 mounts. Gunnel mounting is more common when not using the support poles, because the gunnels provide a better resting surface for the top when folded down and stowed.
