C. E. Smith 52100 User Manual

1.  3M 5200 or equivalent marine sealant to seal the holes you will drill in your 

deck and console.    

2.  A small amount of heavy grease. 
 

 
Fitting the 

 52100 Ttop to your boat is an easy step by step 

procedure.  Take time to read thru all the steps below.   Become familiar with all 
the decisions you will be making before you get out your drill.  Consider asking a 
friend help you make important choices.    

 

See (figure 1.) to help you visualize how the Ttop will fit on your boat.   

 

1.  Start by parking your boat such that the deck will be level.   This will allow 

you to stand back from the boat and eye the inward lean of your uprights 
and to admire your progress during the install.   

 
2.  Lift your uprights onboard and lean them against your console. 

 

3.  Check that you can access all your console openings. (fuel fill cap, access 

doors, etc.)  You may need to shift position to make everything clear. 

 

a.  Most console access doors will swing clear under the standard 

angled uprights.   However, if you have a large console side access 
door, too tall to swing under the standard Upright angled mid-bar, 
you may need to special order High Bar Uprights.  With a full 43” 
clear under their horizontal mid-bars, High Bar Uprights will 
accommodate most taller console doors.  

 
4.  Next, you will choose standoffs and their mounting locations.   

 

a.  Take a good look at the different styles and lengths of standoffs 

available to you.  (Figure 3.) 

 
b.  Standoffs may clamp anywhere on the uprights. 

 

c.  Choose your locations and standoff styles such that the base of the 

standoff lands on a good mounting location on your console. 

 

d.  You may find a combination of standoff styles and lengths works 

best on your boat. 

 

e.  We recommend 4 standoffs, one for each corner of the console.
