How long does it take to fold down the T-Top for storage or to get below a bridge?

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.

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?
Yes, we include instructions on how to do this in the T-Top installation manual.
Will accessories from other companies fit the Fishmaster T-Top?
Yes, all tubing is the industry standard 1-7/8" (1.90") outside diameter.
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.
