Aft curtain

[boatdocktor]

2020 freedom 235
I have the aft curtain (came with boat) that goes from the top to the stern. Pic attached.

but there are dot holes at part to connect to the rear top. I don't see any dots on the rear of the top or the bars. Am i missing something?

I don't know what "at part to connect to the rear top" means, but I think you're saying that at the top/center portion of the curtain there are female DOT sockets... but you don't see any male DOT studs in the vicinity?

Do you need them?

Could the studs be on another portion of the curtain to "fold" the curtain?

I'm just guessing in the meantime till someone else with a similar setup can answer!

Looks like that may be the type that the curtain has a male “slider” that slides in to female slots that are attached to your hard top.

Heres the rear or the top and there are no dots to attach, no slider either. Me thinks previous owner never used it or something may have been removed. . . I can always zip tie it for now and call the dealer monday.

 

[DennisG01]

Oh, so you're ACTUALLY saying that you don't have a slider OR DOT fasteners? OK, that's different than your first post. And that first picture is NOT your boat? Your first post is confusing with what you wrote in the second post.

Are you also saying that you do not have the female slider on the inside of the hardtop tube like the sliders for the side and front pieces are? Your picture doesn't show that area so it's not clear.

Is there evidence that the slider WAS there? Or maybe the aft piece was an option and not originally ordered with the boat?

 

[Coastboater]

In the photo of your boat there are 3 SS screws that are in the underside of the cross bar, facing up. Perhaps those were for the female portion of the slider. Just guessing.…

Update!
I figured it out with the help of the dealer. The cover i have is supposed to attach like this. Which now makes sense.

 

[DennisG01]

Oh, so that's NOT an aft curtain... it's a cockpit cover. That would explain it!

Yep, the cockpit cover comes with most models as part of the enclosure set for some models with a hardtop. Never used mine as I have it shrink wrapped and use the full enclosure during the season.
