Fitting the Ttop to your Boat:
Fitting the
52100 Ttop to your boat is an easy step by step
procedure. Take time to read thru all the steps below. Become familiar with
all
the decisions you will be making
before you get out your drill. Consider asking a
friend help you make important choices.
See (figure 1.) to help you visualize how the Ttop will fit on your boat.
1. Start by parking your boat such that the deck will be level. This will allow
you to stand back from the boat and eye the inward lean of your uprights
and to admire your progress during the install.
2. Lift your uprights onboard and lean them against your console.
3. Check that you can access all your console openings. (fuel fill cap, access
doors, etc.) You may need to shift position to make everything clear.
a. Most console access doors will swing clear under the standard
angled uprights. However, if you have a large console side access
door, too tall to swing under the standard Upright angled mid-bar,
you may need to special order High Bar Uprights. With a full 43”
clear under their horizontal mid-bars, High Bar Uprights will
accommodate most taller console doors.
4. Next, you will choose standoffs and their mounting locations.
a. Take a good look at the different styles and lengths of standoffs
available to you. (Figure 3.)
b. Standoffs may clamp anywhere on the uprights.
c. Choose your locations and standoff styles such that the base of the
standoff lands on a good mounting location on your console.
d. You may find a combination of standoff styles and lengths works
best on your boat.
e. We recommend 4 standoffs, one for each corner of the console.
