The Side-Curtains either snap onto or slide into tracks on the back edges of the windshield (and hull in many cases), The Side-Curtains have Zippers on the top (for the Bimini), front (to connect to the front Connector windshield) and back edge (to the Arch, Bimini-Aft-Curtain or Camper-Side-Curtains if so equipped) to form part of a complete eisenglass enclosure.

Scout® Factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Notes:For Ameritex® (Not Great Lakes) canvas, covers & frames: A laser-engraved, black rubber tag is sewn into every Ameritex® (we no longer make Taylor-Made®) original-equipment canvas or cover (a laser printed sticker is on each frame), and the only way we are able to manufacture the exact canvas, cover or frame specific to your boat is if you provide the part number (P/N) on that tag: We will require the P/N (112350xxx and Greater) and DT date code from this Black Tag (or sticker) and WE WILL MAKE THIS EXACT PART NUMBER, so there are NO RETURNS, REFUNDS or EXCHANGES. Zippers on OEM Scout® canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). All Scout® top frames (bows) are Stainless Steel. Most (NOT All) Scout® Ameritex® Bimini Tops have zippered frame (bow) pockets for easy installation. Scout® installed the snaps in their boats, canvas and covers at their factory, so we cannot install the canvas snaps for you because we do not have locations (see Canvas/Snap Installation to learn about installing snaps). We can only sell canvas and covers direct for Scout® boats over 2 years old. OEM canvas part numbers: -- tags p/n [yySBmmm mm tar-xxxxx-fcc], where [yy] is the year, [SB] is Scout® Boats, [mmm mm] is the model ([222 SF ] for example), [t] is the type of windshield (S=Std or W=optional stainless), [a] is (A)rch or (N)o Arch, [r] is the revision, [xxxxx] identifies the canvas piece, [f] is the fabric (A=Sunbrella® acrylic, S=SeaMark®) and [cc] is the color code., -- Ameritex®tags p/n [nnnxxxccc], where [nnn] identifies the boat, [xxx] is the canvas piece and [ccc] is color code. Scou® HIN = SLPsssssmbyy , yy=model-year.
Factory OEM canvas: Ameritex® tags
TIP: Be sure to check your existing (and adjacent connecting) canvas pieces (and frames) for:
White Ameritex® tags (the tags are approx. 2-3 inches x 4-5 inches),
The Ameritex® logo embossed on the heads of the stainless canvas snaps,
The Zipper Size listed above (#8 in most cases) on all zippers.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) patterned for the {2005,2006,2007} Scout® 280 Vintage, Diesel I/O Sterndrive.
Will ONLY fit and/or zip to other Factory OEM canvas/frames with Ameritex® tags ("cc" is the color code).
ONLY zips to Factory OEM Bimini-Top and Connector.
Verify that your old and mating canvas has AMERITEX® or TAYLOR-MADE® on the tags and embossed on the Canvas Snaps AND the correct factory OEM Zipper Size (#8 = 6 teeth/inch in most cases).
Stainless steel Canvas-Snaps are included (IF used) but NOT installed in the canvas (to allow for a perfect fit), so a Snap-Tool may be required.
Guarantee: We guarantee our factory original (OEM) canvas, frames and covers:
Will be of first rate quality and free of manufacturing defects,
Will be made with the exact patterns and specifications as originally designed and delivered with the boat when new,
Will fit the specified boat, as long as the existing and mating canvas and frames are factory original: having part numbers, snaps and zipper size as specified in the Size/Fit and Model-Specific-Information on this page,
Will perform as described when installed properly.
You can count on all of the above or we will repair or replace the item in question.
