T-tops and hardtops add a variety of new features to center console, fish around, walkaround and dual-console fishing boats. Oceansouth provide shade and extra storage, but you can also use them to mount outriggers, radar domes, lights and other equipment that would be difficult or impossible to install in the lower sections of your boat.
Rod Holders
The aft rail around the T-Top is an ideal place to add bolt-on rod holders, either in stainless steel or aluminum. You’ll want to choose a metal holder because plastic is not durable enough to stand up to the elements and can break in rough conditions with a trolling rod inside.
Radomes
The best way to mount a radar on a T-Top is by using a 12 x 12-inch aluminum mounting plate that has a 1/4-inch thickness. It’s a simple and convenient installation, and a good choice for most medium-sized radars.
LED Lighting
When you’re out on the water for long periods of time, it’s a good idea to add some light to the area. LED (light-emitting diode) lights can be a great option to replace traditional bulbs and will last longer.
Life Jacket Stowage
Keeping your life jackets dry and handy on a T-Top or hardtop can be tricky. A breathable canvas or netted storage bag on the ceiling can be helpful in keeping your life jackets clean and safe from moisture and mildew.
An outboard engine is one of the most expensive components on your boat. Sometimes the motor itself is worth more than your boat, which makes protecting it important.
There are several types of outboard covers US to choose from, including universal fit, semi-custom and custom fit boat motor covers. All are designed to protect your outboard engine from damaging elements while on a trailer or stored on land.
Using an outboard cover helps prevent scratches, dings, and cracks that occur when the motor is struck by road debris like stones or gravel while transporting it on a trailer. It also protects the cowling from UV rays, which can fade the painted plastic of an outboard motor’s cowling over time.
A top-quality Seal Skin outboard boat motor cover is made of durable multi-layered polyester fabric that offers strong protection against an often harsh marine environment. This cover is a cost-effective way to keep your outboard looking new and shiny for years to come.
Another type of outboard motor cover is a vented splash cover, which fends off sun, spray, salt, blood, chunks of bait, bird droppings, errant sinkers and flying lures that can damage the paintwork on your outboard. These covers are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, particularly among anglers.
The best outboard covers are solution dyed, which ensures that the color will not bleed or fade over time. Oceansouth providing a much more durable product that will hold color longer and stay stronger than products made with post-dyed fabrics.
