What is the difference between the Original and Pro Series T-Top?
Both Fishmaster T-Tops are great choices for adding sun protection and functionality to your boat. Both models feature Fishmaster's patented twice holding design, fit center consoles 24-50" wide, and are quick and easy to install. The Original features Ø1.9" aluminum tubing while the Pro Series features a more robust Ø2.25" tubing. The Pro Series also features larger bases for added stability at the mounting points. Additionally, the design aesthetics of the two t-tops set them apart significantly. The Original features a simple, more angular design while the Pro Series is designed with sleek curvature that complements the sleek lines of today's boats.
What is the tube diameter, and grade of materials?
The tubing is 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe with a 1.900" outside diameter. The tube material is 6061-T6 marine grade aluminum that is polished and bright dip anodized which is the industry standard for T-Tops, wakeboard towers, radar arches, tuna towers, etc. All the hardware is 316 grade stainless steel, also a workhorse of the marine industry. The fabric is Sunbrella Marine grade Acrylic.
Can you trailer the boat with the T-Top up?
We recommend, when trailering any of our t-tops, to have them in the upright position and to not exceed recommended highway speeds.
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.
I see the overall dimensions but I am interested in is the opening sizes on the electronic box as there is a flange for the door to rest on.
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.
What is the maximum speed that you can tow a boat with the t-top?
Fishmaster t-tops can safely be trailered at highway speeds. We recommend keeping the t-top in its upright position when trailering. Please be mindful that higher speeds and longer travel distances will cause more than the average wear on your t-top canvas.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where can I get replacement rubber feet and plastic end caps for my casting platform with grab rail?

Does it come with the sticker on the plexiglass? If so is it removable?
No, currently on our FIshmaster electronics box the log is proudly etched in the plexiglas.
Do you ship to Ontario, Canada? Or do you have a dealer in Canada?

Can you trailer your T-Tops on 2008 Carolina Skiff at Highway speeds ?
Yes, we would actually recommend trailering the boat with the t-top upright. When it is folded, if not properly secured, it could cause damage to the t-top and/or boat.
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

The overall folded height will depend on the specific boat. We can't determine where the upper section would hit on every boat due to different items stopping the upper section of the t-top. It could be a seat that it hits first or the floor. Worse case if something did prevent it from making it into your garage the whole upper top section could be removed as well. All of that being said we don't have too many issues where it would not fit in a garage fully folded.
Do you sell and ship to Canada?
Yes, we do sell and ship to Canada.
Can water be leaking thru T-top?
The canvas top is made from sunbrella fabric so yes water is allowed thru.
Can the top be easily raised and lowered with 1 person or do you need 2 people to safely perform this task?
For our Fishmaster t-tops we have seen some of our customer who are able to raise and lower the t-top by themselves while other may require two people to safely raise and lower it.
Will it fit a 1993 Boston whaler outrage 17’
As long as your boat has a center console that is between 24" and 50" wide with a flat floor, our Pro Series or Original T-top would work for you.
