Disassembled view of the Dolphin SS Pro T Top from Krypt T Tops for your reference

STEP 1: Prepare for T Top Installation
Unpack and check the contents of the box to prepare for your T Top Installation as soon as your product is received from Krypt T Top.

Please read all instructions before completing your T Top installation

If you are NOT sure of any part of the guide, or you have any questions, please contact our team at Krypt T Top or DOLPHIN T Tops

 

STEP 2: To begin your Dolphin T Top installation, assemble the side support frame 

Attach the lower half and upper half of the side frames using the bolts and split washers.

Note:  the Dolphin logo faces outwards from the boat

Note: The 2XA, 2XB, 2XC, 2XD caps should be put at the correct position as shown in the drawing.

 

STEP 3: Positioning of the side frame for the boat T Top installation.


Allow for 1 to 7 inches of clearance from the center console to the T-Top's lower side frame.

Always check beneath the floor for any wires or objects that could interfere with mounting.

Position the lower half of a side frame where you want it and mark its location. Remove the frame. Then, measure the exact side-to-side distance from the front mounting point on the port side to the front mounting point on the starboard side, and record this measurement.


STEP 4: Assemble the front and centre section of the top frame for the T Top boat cover

Note: that the shape of the front section is narrow and also has a curved bend which faces downwards when attached to the side support frames of the T Top.

Note: The lap joints have a number on the flat face; match these up for correct T Top installation

 

STEP 5: Attach the Side Supports to the assembled top section

Orient the side support arms so the Dolphin logo is on the outside and the handle faces the rear. Confirm the small curved top frame bends downward.

Remove the tops of the ball clamps, noting their internal numbers to ensure correct reassembly.

Mark the center of the top section's crossbar. Using your recorded deck mount measurement, mark the corresponding positions on the two cross beams of the assembled top section.

Now, attach the partial top section to the support frame, verifying that all components face the correct direction. Refer to product images if needed.

(Note: The above drawing shows a Dolphin Pro2 T Top)

 

STEP 6: Boat T Top Installation and installing T Top on center console

Attach the T top to the floor of the boat. Set the assembled T-Top onto your marked console positions. You can now pre-drill and use the bolts and backing plates to secure your mounting points.

Always check under the floor for wires or objects before drilling.

STEP 7: Attach rear section of the top frame to the T Top as shown below

 

STEP 8: Attaching the Sunbrella T Top boat cover to the top frame.

Lay your T Top boat cover on the ground. Locate the zipped front pocket, place it over the front of your T-Top, and zip it closed. Unfold the cover over the rest of the frame, hook it over the back, and zip that section up. Secure the Velcro corner tabs. Finish by tightening the side sections with their zippers and Velcro tabs.

 

STEP 9: Attach standoffs to T Top side main frames.

 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Be sure to check and tighten all fasteners and connections prior to every use

Be cautious when towing or driving under obstacles, low-hanging structures, or trees.  Leave your Dolphin T Top in the erect position when towing behind a vehicle.

Use soap and water to clean your tower.

Avoid abrasive material that might scratch or damage the tower's protective finish.

Always rinse and wipe down the tower after contact with salt (brackish) water.

While durable, the 304 Stainless Steel on your product needs consistent polishing and maintenance to retain its finish. It's important to care for it regularly.

It is recommended that you spray a clear protective coat over the grub screws and fittings.
to help protect from corrosion.

WARRANTY

The product/part is to be sent to the Distributor for inspection, where it will either be repaired or replaced. (Unless otherwise agreed in writing) The customer is liable for the costs associated with shipping the product/part to Dolphin T Tops.

Dolphin is not responsible for personal injury or damage to the boat caused by the use of the T Top or any transport charges or cost of installation or removal of the T Top. Dolphin is not liable for direct, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from delay or improper T Top installation.

T TOP BOAT COVER CANOPY IS RATED FOR UP TO 45 MPH. Please remove the canopy when driving above the rated speed.

Our warranty doesn't cover the anodized, polished, or powder-coated finishes on surfaces, nor does it cover hardware corrosion. This is because their proper care and usage are beyond our control.

Our warranty specifically excludes spider coat gel cracking and any damage that occurs during the installation or use of the T-Top on your vessel. Be aware that no dealer, retailer, or manufacturer can extend or alter the terms of this warranty. This is our sole warranty, superseding all others.

 

WARNING
Please be aware that your boat's specific construction, including deck and wall thickness, may lead to movement at the T-Top's mounting points. Any movement at these points caused by your boat's construction or increased pressure on joints due to incorrect mounting will void the warranty. When in doubt, do not install the T-Top. Remember to check all bolts and components thoroughly before each use, particularly after towing or adjusting the T-Top.

WARNING
Do not stand, climb, or jump off the tower.

Do not tow the boat behind a vehicle with the T Top lowered.

Do Not Ski, wakeboard, use tow tubes, boats, or other watercraft from the tower. 

Watch out whilst moving under objects, such as bridges, low buildings, and trees. Violations may result in product damage or serious personal injuries.
