2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 286
For balance, it is suggested that operators have an additional
person assist when raising or lowering a bimini top.
To install the ProStar bimini:
1. Let the bimini canvas rest on top of the motor box with the legs
facing towards the bow of the boat.
2. With another person, line up the main bimini legs (the longest leg
on both sides of the bimini) with the mounting brackets on the
port and starboard sides of the windshield frame. Ensure that the
ball joint is facing upwards (see photo below).
3. Insert the ball joint into the bracket and insert the pin to lock the
bimini legs to the mounting bracket. To ensure proper orientation
see the photo below.
4. The bimini should rest on the support poles supplied at delivery.
To deploy the ProStar bimini:
1. With the main bimini legs mounted to the windshield, lift the
topmost portion of bimini frame forward (the rest of the bimini
and frame will follow) until the main bimini leg touches the top
corners of the windshield.
2. With some upward pressure on the main bimini leg, slide
the secondary mounting ball joints down into the top of the
windshield’s corners.
3. Fully extend the bimini supports on either side until they lock
into place. Ensure that the bimini supports lock into place before
operating the boat.
To stow the bimini:
1. Unlock the bimini support legs.
2. With upward pressure on the main bimini leg, slide the secondary
mounting ball joint upwards on the bimini leg until it is clear of the
windshield.
3. Fold the bimini down to rest on the support poles.
4. Wrap the bimini boot cover around the bimini and zip closed.
Troubleshooting
Should the bimini ever bind or become locked in either the stowed
or deployed position, MasterCraft recommends that the bimini be
taken to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for repair.
NXT BIMINI
Models
Optional on NXT20, NXT22 and NXT20 Global Edition (with optional
tower).
Purpose
The NXT bimini casts shade on the cockpit of the boat to keep
occupants cool and protected from the sun’s rays.
Location
Mounted to the NXT tower.
Operation
Biminis come pre-installed from dealers on all models.
To deploy the NXT bimini:
For balance, it is suggested that operators have an additional
person assist when raising or lowering a bimini top.
1. Unzip and remove the bimini boot cover
2. Unwrap the canvas so it hangs loosely.
3. With the assistance of another person, fold the top portion of the
frame towards the back of the cockpit.
4. Velcro the canvas straps around the frame tightly.
5. Gently pull down on the frame and insert the rear bimini legs into
the tower mounting bracket.
6. Insert mounting pins to secure the legs in place.
7. If the canvas is loose, re-tighten the Velcro straps around the
frame and zip the tow point access zipper.
To stow the bimini:
1. With two people, pull and hold downward pressure on the aft
most portion of the bimini frame to release tension in the rear
support legs.
2. Pull the mounting pins out of the rear support brackets on both
sides, and gently nudge the legs out of the mounts.
3. Unvelcro all velcroed portions of the canvas on both sides, and
unzip the tow point access zipper to loosen the canvas.

on the bow portion of the frame.
5. Wrap excess canvas around the frame and zip the boot cover
around the canvas.
