The ends of the poles attach to the hinge by removing the screw. Slide aft to deploy. Slide forward and lower over bow rail then slide aft till tight and secure hinge to stow. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Member Personal Page Posts: 90 Comments: 0 Joined: 09/15/17	So here's my situation - I just bought this boat... 1989 Montauk 17. I know my top should fold within the rails. All 5 eye straps are are already installed(includes one on console rail for sway). The only thing I am missing are the (2) Chrome Side Mount Hinge w/screws Part#25-0369-00(Mills Part #). The holes for these are already drilled in place at 45º on both port and starboard sides - per the instructions from WJ Mills. I just need the parts(hinges). Does anyone with similar top have any pics to show me what these hinges look like? Thanks.
