Porta-sunShade®
Assembly/Installation Instructions
 
When you're
at rest
and the
temperature begins to rise...
just open for instant relief against both the heat
and the UV rays of the sun.
Here are the initial installation instructions:
PARTS
LIST:
One Canopy.
Three Aluminum "U" Tubes.
Two Long Aluminum "Main Support Tubes",
Each With Attached Short Tube And Attached Long Tube.
Eight 5/8" Screws.
Two Snap Hook Anchors.
Two Adjustable Webbing Straps, Each with Snap Hook.
Two Mounting Hinge Brackets, Each With A Post Screw.
TOOLS: Phillips Head
Screwdriver. Tape Measure. Drill With 3/32" Bit. Marking Pencil
Or Scribe
1-
Spread the canopy on the ground so you can see the “end sleeve”
at each end and the “webbing loops” facing up. Insert
one aluminum "U" shaped tube thru each
"end sleeve" of the canopy and one "U"
shaped aluminum tube thru the webbing loops. All 3 "U"
shaped tubes are identical.
2-
Slip the looped end of one adjustable webbing strap
onto one of the two aluminum main support tubes.
Now slip the looped end of one adjustable webbing strap
to the other aluminum main support tube on the
other side as shown. Then, Insert the swedged (thinner end) of each
aluminum main support tube into each end of the
aluminum "U" tubes as shown.
3A-
Mounting hinge bracket installation:
With your Porta-Bote already assembled, place the assembled
canopy at the desired location on the boat. Notice where the aluminum
support tube will attach to the mounting hinge
bracket. Mark this spot on top of the tubing rub rail.
Place one mounting hinge bracket on the marked
spot of the tubing rail not less than 3“ (7.62 cm) from the
center of the oarlock socket either toward the front or rear of
the boat. On the 12' model, only, you should place it 3" (7.62
cm) toward the rear.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: So that the mounting hinge
bracket does not press against the bottom of the
boat when folded, place each bracket (and snap hook
anchor, explained in paragraph 4) so that it is
slightly closer to the outside of the hull rather
than “dead center”
|
Drill 3/32"
holes thru the mounting hinge bracket into the tubing rub rail.
Attach this bracket using two 5/8" screws. Repeat this step
on the other side of the boat. Apply “Locktite”, GOOP,
or Silicon type Adhesive (which may be purchased at Walmart, Home
Depot or most hardware stores) to each screw where it enters the
tubing rail. These products helps bond the screw to the tubing rail.
They also work well when applied to the swedged end of the tubes
when inserting them into the “U” frames
3B--
Remove the post screw from each mounting hinge bracket.
Insert one of the two aluminum main support tubes
(with the hole at the bottom) into the mounting hinge bracket. Replace
and tighten the post screw. Repeat this procedure on the other side.
4-
Adjustable webbing strap installation: Adjust your
Porta-Shade so it is level. Mark the place where the front
adjustable webbing strap will attach to the boat by placing
the hooked end of the strap on the tubing rail as far from the
aluminum main support tube as possible.
Now place a snap hook anchor at that mark on the
tubing rail. Drill two 3/32" holes thru the snap hook anchor
into the tubing rail. Attach the snap hook anchor
using two 5/8" screws. Repeat this step on the rear side of
boat. Now, unhook the front adjustable webbing strap
and tighten the snap hook anchor. Repeat this procedure
on the rear adjustable webbing strap.
This
is what the completed installation looks like.
HINT:
When it's very windy, always place the canopy in
the down position, facing forward, when moving forward.
