Pictured below are three things I need help with, preferably with a picture or explanation of what they do or how they work.

The first item is the circular cutout in the radar arch - is it a pre made cutout for a tweeter / light or something else entirely.

The second item Is directly beside the circular cutout. I am sure it relates to the metal tubes supporting the cabin Sunbrella - but how does it work?
A close up of these two items is below


The last item probably relates to the cabin canvas as well, but again, I am not sure how. See close up below.



All insights appreciated.

Not sure about the disc thingy on your arch, but the ball on the end of the curved pole end, fits in the slot on the other piece, then you slide the pin in to lock it in place. Maybe for a different bimini configuration?

The second and third image parts connect and lock together when you want to collapse (fold inward) and secure your rear camper canvas framework against the arch to simply get more daylight / sunlight exposure to the back section of the boat. You do this with the camper canvas off, or have maybe only the rear roof section still on the framework when you fold it up. My 298 has a similar setup, but in 4 years with the boat, I've only ran it folded in like that once to be honest.

Beneath that cutout is the bolt holding on the grab handle on the other side of the arch.

They are correct on what the stainless parts are. I only use it over the winter when I store my boat, take all canvas off, and use the cockpit cover.

Duh! I never thought to look on the outside to see what was there - thanks firecadet


I suspect that I will use it one less time than you, now that I know what they are for - thanks.

I knew MY current use of the stainless "ball-hook", suspending my 27" TV with a bungy cord with just enough length that it touched and balanced on the sink-counter was not the intended use FW had in mind.
