Weather Covers
O - 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTICE
DO NOT use the weather covers for outdoor
winter storage. The weight of the snow or
heavy rain can cause severe damage to the
material or top structure. Refer to O-3 Winter
Storage in this manual for more information.
Weather covers for the cockpit areas are available
®
on the H series models. Four Winns covers are
designed and intended to provide protection of the
cockpit seating areas.
Four Winns utilizes acrylic-type material for all its cov-
ers. All H series canvas except mooring covers con-
sist of 100% acrylic material and is color matched to
the boat. The mooring covers are made of 10 ounce
acrylic and come in dark tan (mica) only.
When snapping covers to the boat, apply direct down-
ward pressure on the snap. When unsnapping, rotate
the snap and cover upward at each snap location.
NOTICE
Remove snaps one at a time to prevent dam-
age. DO NOT rip off or pull the weather cover
as a whole; acrylic material may tear
at snaps.
Never use any form of open flame cooking
device while under, in any area fully enclosed,
or near any acrylic weather cover. This material
is flammable.
A. Bimini Top
During the manufacture of the weather covers, the
smallest possible needle and highest quality UV stabi-
lized, bonded polyester thread is used in the stitching.
A bimini top is available on most H series models.
This style is a “freestanding” top and is supported only
by the bow assembly. Note: This style of canvas when
deployed permits most occupants the ability to stand
and walk about the cockpit while the boat is at rest.
Refer to Figure O-1.
The weather cover is water repellant but not water
proof. During a hard rain, you may notice a light
mist permeating through a weather cover. This is
normal. If the seams leak, they can be sprayed with
Scotchguard™ or similar water repellent or a seam
sealing compound can be applied. Keep objects from
contacting the inside of the cover. Leakage may
occur at point of contact.
To install:
1.
2.
Unboot and attach the bimini main bows to the
deck mounts.
Extend the forward portion of the bimini and attach
the forward nylon straps to the strap eyes.
Weather covers must be installed taut or will be dam-
aged by accumulation of rain water.

After use, the top canvas should be rolled up into the
boot (if supplied) and secured.

can lead to mildew or shrinkage. Roll rather
than fold the enclosure curtains. Sharp folds
increase the chance of cracking the clear vinyl.
