Installation Instructions for: Centurion Predator Tower Kit


This extension kit is designed specifically for Centurion boats running the Predator Tower Bimini. It mounts directly to the 1.5 inch Bimini frame tubing and adds a clean, stable shade system that extends toward the stern. The install is quick and doesn’t require any drilling or modification to your tower.

What’s Included

You’ll find everything you need in the box:

  • (2) 1.5 inch Clamp Brackets and hardware

  • (2) telescoping Carbon Fiber poles

  • (1) Sunshade

  • (1) Storage Bag


A 5mm allen wrench is required for installation


Step 1: Mount the 1.5" Clamps to the Bimini Frame

Start by opening each Shoreline clamp. Wrap the clamp around your Centurion's Bimini frame tubing and reassemble it with the bracket pointing toward the rear of the boat.

Because the Bimini uses 1.5" tubing, no spacers are needed—these clamps are sized for this frame.


The brackets are symmetrical and will be the same for both left and right


A good starting position is 8–12 inches forward from the rear edge of the Bimini. This gives the poles the correct angle for tension and plenty of adjustment range. This kit will attach where the bimini frame angles inward. The brackets have 12 degrees of outward pitch to keep the poles pointed straight rearward.


Step 2: Insert the Telescoping Poles

Slide a pole into each clamp’s receiver tube and extend the pole to full length


Step 3: Attach the Shade to the Clamps

Take the leading edge of the shade and wrap the sewn-in straps around each clamp bracket. Pull the straps tight so the shade sits centered and secure.

If the fabric is sitting slightly crooked, just loosen the straps and shift it until both sides look even.


Step 4: Connect the Rear Grommets

Each back corner of the shade has a reinforced grommet. Loop these over the ends of the poles.

This step puts the final tension on the fabric and gives it its finished shape.

If one side looks higher or tighter, fine-tune by adjusting pole height or shifting the front straps.
