Notes:
- 1997-1999 Monterey® 230 Explorer Open Model Specific Details: Monterey® actually called the "Forward Bimini" (over the bow area) a "Camper Top" on the Explorer™ deck boats. The "Bimini" on this boat is over the aft Cockpit area. Monterey® originally offered the 1997-1999 230 Explorer Open in Sunbrella® fabric.
- Product Details: Bimini-Top tubular Framework (and Support Poles if used), Canvas, Boot Cover, fittings and mounting hardware (some Boat Manufacturers supplied their own hardware, so we don't supply it then). Bimini-top canvas has Zippers for Front Visor, Side-Curtains (and Aft-Drop-Curtain if so equipped). Factory Original-Equipment (OEM) canvas made-to-order.
- Monterey® Factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Notes: For Ameritex® (Not Great Lakes or BLI®) 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 fromthe tag (or sticker). WE WILL MAKE THIS EXACT PART NUMBER, so there are NO RETURNS, REFUNDS or EXCHANGES. Zippers on OEM Monterey® canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Monterey® 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 Monterey® boats over 2 years old. Monterey® OEM canvas part number scheme: tags, where [xxxx] identifies the canvas piece and [ccc] is the color code. Monterey® Hull Identification Number (HIN)= RGFsssssmbyy , where [yy] = model year.
- Factory OEM canvas: GLBT tags p/n [9yMO230 EXPSNr -x0xxx-Acc]

  1. White GLBT tags p/n [9yMO230 EXPSNr -x0xxx-Acc] (the tags are approx. 2-3 inches x 4-5 inches),
  2. The GLBT p/® logo embossed on the heads of the stainless canvas snaps,
  3. The Zipper Size listed above (#8 in most cases) on all zippers.

Your Boat: Monterey 230 Explorer Open (1997-1999)

12-digit HIN: (required)

Your 12-digit Hull-Identification-Number (HIN) (RGFsssssmbyy) is embossed on the starboard side of your transom, below the rub rail, and the HIN should also be on your registration papers (verify it with the official HIN on your transom) and may also be on your insurance documents,
The HIN is required to verify the boat manufacturer (first 3-digits) and determine date of manufacturer (last 4-digits) to determine the correct revision of the Bimini Top Canvas and Frame Boot, with Zippers, SeaMark® fabric (Factory OEM),
Unfortunately, the HIN does NOT tell us what model the boat is, what options the boat has or what color canvas it originally came with, so we must rely on you to select the boat, options and color from our web site.
