Material advantages of stainless steel A4 (AISI 316)

Stainless steel A4 (also known as AISI 316 or V4A) contains molybdenum and therefore offers significantly higher corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel A2. This makes the base particularly suitable for:

• Continuous saltwater contact
• Aggressive marine environments
• Long-term outdoor applications without maintenance
• Professional boat and yacht equipment
• Areas with frequent movement and stress

Retractable fork pin

Quick operation: The extendable fork pin allows for tool-free connection and disconnection of the convertible top frame. Simply pull out the pin, insert or remove the tube, and reinsert the pin.

Time-saving: Ideal for convertible tops that need to be frequently installed and removed - significantly faster than screw connections.

Secure connection: The 6 mm bolt ensures a stable and secure connection of the convertible top frame.

Assembly and use

The foot is attached to the deck using the base (90 x 40 mm). The canopy frame is inserted into the fork and secured with the extendable fork pin. To release, simply pull the pin out.

• Deck mounting - attach the foot to the deck with screws
• Pull out the pin - remove the fork pin from the holder
• Insert the tube - insert the convertible top frame into the fork
• Insert the pin - reinsert the fork pin and secure it.
