    changeout cockpit tables

    We often dine on the boat and find the dual aft cockpit tables to be less than ideal (except for storage convenience). Has anyone opted for a single table that would seat 4 , and if so, where might I order one?

    The coaming in my hardtop sags and I had a solution with industrial Velcro applied to the underside. It worked fine but when I put the boat into winter storage they need to remove the radar dome , (Height restrictions) hence take out the coaming for access. It damages the vinyl underside edges...

    Need a replacement Radar dome

    My 2005 37PC came with the Ray marine c 80 chart plotter ray dome set up. It is analog. Apparently the interior guts of the dome suffered corrosion and no longer works. Finding a replacement in this digital era will no doubt be a challenge. Does anyone have a compatible dome for sale ? Or do...

    adding an aft shade to my 37 pc

    I have a custom canvas guy coming to replace my entire canvas system. I have a hardtop and in checking with TAG and Ameritex I am told the aft shade was not an option until 2006.

I get the radar view page, and for a brief second it starts to...
