and rewinding the line to its appropriate
berth.
Canvas Covers
Models:
One of the most popular options for
MasterCraft boats is the variety of op-
tional canvas covers that are available.
Speak with an authorized MasterCraft
dealer for details about what is available
for each model.
Purpose:
Depending on the canvas selected, it
may provide protection from the sun for
people onboard and/or from the sun’s
rays, water or while towing, for areas of
the boat. Canvas can also provide UV
protection while boats are moored or
stored.
Location:
Covers can be installed over all the
boat or only over sections of the boat.
Check with an authorized MasterCraft
dealer for details. This is something that
can be added to the boat during ownership.
Operation:
Most covers are intended for use
when the boat is moored or stored. These
canvas covers will snap into place. How-
ever, the Bimini top offers shade while
the boat is in use. The Bimini is installed
over the helm and/or midsection of the
boat. The Bimini legs will fold to allow
for minimal wind resistance during tow-
ing or when riding across the body of
water at higher speeds, or for storage.
When folding the legs be certain to be
careful to avoid pinching ngers when
raising or lowering the legs. For balance,
it is suggested that operators have an ad-
ditional person assist when raising or
lowering a Bimini top.
Special Attention:
MasterCraft strongly recommends
having an authorized MasterCraft dealer
perform the installation because snap in-
stallation can cause “crazing” (unwanted
spider-web-like lines in the gel coat) if
the installation is not done correctly. Such
damage is not covered under warranty.
