WHAT IS A T-TOP WINDSHIELD?
Although t-tops provide significant benefits for the driver and the center console, they do not typically come equipped with a windshield to protect the driver. A boat t-top windshield is a clear, acrylic or polycarbonate panel that is mounted on the t-top of a boat and used to protect the occupants from wind, spray, and other elements. Boat t-top windshields are typically made of durable, shatter-resistant material and are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. They are typically mounted on the t-top’s frame in front of the driver and can be easily removed when not needed.
HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM INSTALLING A T-TOP WINDSHIELD?
Boat T-top windshields can provide a number of benefits, including:
- Improved visibility: A boat t-top windshield can help to reduce wind and spray, which can improve visibility while on the water.
- Increased comfort: A boat t-top windshield can provide a more comfortable and enjoyable experience on the water by protecting occupants from the elements.
- Reduced fatigue: A boat t-top windshield can help to reduce fatigue by providing a more protected and sheltered environment while on the boat.
It's important to note that boat t-top windshields are not suitable for all types of boats and may not be suitable for high-speed or rough water conditions. It is always best to consult the manufacturer's recommendations and local boating regulations before installing a boat t-top windshield.
DO ALL CENTER CONSOLE BOATS NEED A T-TOP WINDSHIELD?
T-top windshields are entirely optional accessories, but in some cases they’re highly recommended. Assuming you have a center console boat with a t-top installed, we recommend seriously considering adding a windshield to your t-top if you’ll be out fishing in rough waters or inclement weather. T-top windshields are most useful for offshore fishermen and help them stay comfortable and maintain visibility on long journeys.
