This is the factory original installation. No other hardware is installed. This is for the trapezoidal shaped cover, used on the 1977 and later "smirked" hulls. For a 1974 model, using the original "smirkless" hull, the cover is rectangular and is unattached. Edited by Finnegan on 11/22/22 - 9:52 PM
