Can I run wires through the tubing to lights, antenna or other electronics mounted on the T-Top?
Yes, we include instructions on how to do this in the T-Top installation manual.
What are the dimensions of where it attaches to tube to outside edge of farthest holder?
The overall dimensions of our 5 rod rocket launcher is just over 24" (616mm) wide.

The inner flange is 1.25 inches. The outer flange on top is 1 7/8 inch, the bottom flange is 7/8 inch. Width of opening past inner flange is is 20 1/2 inches long by 6 7/8 inches high.

Yes our Fishmaster t-tops are designed to support all of your fishing needs! You can add on our electronics box, brackets for a radar and etc. Right now there is free shipping going on when you order the t-top.
How does the polished finish hold up in salt water?
How will the polished (anodized) finish hold up in a saltwater enviroment?
Our Fishmaster products that bear the anodized finish will offer years of usage with some general maintence. The coating created by bright dipped anodizing will protect against saltwater corrision.

We do not offer kits for this because these modifications have not been tested and are NOT recommended.
Product Info
How long does it take to fold down the T-Top for storage or to get below a bridge?
Normally about five minutes. There are two bolts that need to be removed from each of the four legs for the T-Top to fold forward. Then two bolts are removed from each side of the top section to allow it to fold. Only one bolt is required for each location except when used in rough water or when over 20 lbs of accessories are attached to the top. For customers that need to more regularly put their T-Tops up and down a quick release knob kit is available.

The fabric is Sunbrella Marine grade Acrylic.
Are your products designed for saltwater use?
Yes. All tubing is 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum that is polished and protected with a bright dip anodized finish. All hardware is marine grade stainless steel. It is recommended to wash after saltwater use and occasionally protect with a marine grade aluminum polish.
Does this top have an electronics box or attachment?
We have an electronics box available as well as various brackets for the Fishmaster that can be used to mount antenna, radars, etc.
Can you trailer the boat with the T-Top up?
Yes, It was designed for travel at highway speed like all other T-Tops. Since the cover is flat there is very little resistance on the top fabric. We have many customers here in Atlanta that take their boats to the coast (4-7 hours) with their T-Top up on a regular basis and their only complaint is cleaning bugs off the tubing.
I have a 210 BR KeyWest CC. I store it in my garage that has an 8' door opening height. I'm looking for the tallest dimension of the top when it's broke down. Basically from the top of the deck to the highest point. If I cannot pull it into my opening with it broke down then it's a no go. Thanks
Email address is sq1lrh@juno.com.
The overall folded height will depend on the specific boat.
Where can I get replacement rubber feet and plastic end caps for my casting platform with grab rail?
Please visit the link for replacements - https://fishmaster.com/replacement-feet-for-casting-platform-set-of-4.html
Can water be leaking thru T-top?
The canvas top is made from sunbrella fabric so yes water is allowed thru.
Will it fit Through a standard garage opening when folded
We have had success with our t-tops fitting when folded, that being said the height of the t-top will be different for every boat as we do not have the information on what the t-top will make contact with first.
Do you sell and ship to Canada?
Yes, we do sell and ship to Canada.

What maintenance is required?
Like our beloved spouses, the Fishmaster T-Top is very low maintenance. The only maintenance needed is to occasionally polish the aluminum as you do the other metal items on your boat. If you use your boat in salt water rinsing down the T-Top after use is recommended.
Can I run wires through the tubing to lights, antenna or other electronics mounted on the T-Top?
