CAMPER
The camper is standard and provides cover/shade for
the aft portion of the cockpit area. It too, is designed to
be fastened to the radar arch with the use of a track.
See Figure O2. The camper aft curtain and camper
side curtains can be installed to enclose the aft cockpit
area. The camper and camper curtains used in con-
junction with the bimini top, forward connector and bimini
side curtains completely encloses the cockpit area when
desired. See Figure O3. For hardware installation see
Figures O10 & O11 at the end of this section.

7.
Extend the primary camper bows and attach
the forward edge of the camper canvas to radar
arch by mating the zipper ends and zip the can-
vas together.
With the retaining clips supplied, attach the retainer
bows to the primary bows when camper is deployed.
This will prevent the retainer bows from racking
around loose and possibly damaging the arch or
bows.
To install:
8.
Zip the camper side curtains to the camper top.
Snap the edge portion of these curtains to radar
arch and the deck. It may prove easiest to start
snapping the curtains at the upper portion of the
arch and work your way down and then along the
deck.

Install bimini top, forward windshield connector and
bimini side curtains as previously instructed.
2.
Remove the pin with lanyard or thumbscrew from
each of the deck mounts located on each side of
the radar arch. This will release the camper retainer
bows and camper from its stored position. See Fig-
ure O5. Be sure to be supporting the camper top to
prevent it from falling and possible damage. Rein-
sert pin with lanyard or thumbscrew into deck hinge.
