Covering your T-top!
Susan J
Carolina Skiff, Boston Whaler and Sea Hunt boats are very well known for their T-Top feature! A t-top is a great addition to your center console boat. They are tall enough to stand under to provide protection against rain and UV rays, and they make a great platform for your fishing equipment. But when you are not on the water, how do you protect your valuable boat, t-top and equipment? When it comes to protection it is important to consider what will work best for you. There are multiple types of covers available for this style of boat. Most likely, it will come down to your personal preference, and how you need the cover to meet your needs.
If you are interested in covering your entire boat, Carver offers an excellent choice with many benefits. This cover goes up and over your t-top and will provide coverage from the bow to the transom (including the motors). This full cover can provide the ultimate protection. Of course, you may question how it will accommodate your radar dome and other equipment. Luckily, it has a hook and loop (similar to Velcro) slot at the rear of the t-top, which is made to allow your antennas to exit. Your cover will even come with support poles equipped with end caps. The support poles will sit in your rod holders to alleviate any pressure on the equipment. A zipper on each side allows easy access to the boat without having to remove the cover. This is a great storage cover that would provide the protection that you need. But what if you need something that is less time consuming and more suitable for day to day use? Don’t worry; we have options for that, too!
Carver also kept in mind that you may want something for only the t-top. This cover will go over the t-top, as well. Meaning it will provide protection for all of your console’s equipment without the efforts of a full cover. Just like the previously mentioned cover, it will have the hook and loop closure that allows your antennas to exit. This t-top only cover is based solely on your dimensions. If there is extra slack in the cover, an adjustable buckle and strap is sewn in to create a more customized fit. The support poles that are included ensure that the cover does not apply pressure to your fishing equipment. A zippered access point will allow you to access the center console without having to remove the cover; which is a great addition to this style of cover. If you need protection for only the t-top while your boat is stored, this is a great option. But you may ask, “what if I want to travel and protect my t-top”?
