A retractable roof includes a pair of tracks oriented lengthwise along opposite sides of an opening, a plurality of traveler cars displaceable on the tracks manually or by motor, and a plurality of bows coupled with the traveler cars and extending between the tracks and across the opening. The bows are displaceable with the traveler cars between a closed position and an opened position. A roof material sized to cover the opening is secured to the bows.

A playpen cover for a pontoon boat includes a cover panel sized to cover a pontoon boat deck, where the cover panel has loop channel. A ratchet loop is disposed in the loop channel and is attachable at ends of the ratchet loop to respective boat cleats. A ratchet system cooperable with the ratchet loop is disposed between the boat cleats. The ratchet loop attaches to the boat cleat and requires no fastener.

A boat cover for a boat includes a cover section that is sized to cover the deck from bow to stern and extending over the rub rail, and a shipping section attached to the cover section and sized to cover the hull from below the rub rail toward the chine. The shipping section is removable from the cover section. The boat cover eliminates waste as a shipping cover and is usable by the boat owner as a daily or long term storage, mooring and trailering cover.

Mooring/shipping cover

The present invention is an improved arch for a boat. The improved arch includes at least one channel which extends at least partially along the port and starboard sides of the arch and at least partially across the top member of the arch. The channel is designed to receive water and direct that water away from the cockpit area of the boat. Additionally, the present invention includes a canopy mounting system particularly adapted for the arch of the present invention. The system includes a first locking strip attachment to a surface. The first member includes at least one fastening channel having a restricted opening. A locking member is adapted to be attached to a canopy and has at least one locking flange for insertion into the fastening channel of the locking strip. The canopy can be repeatedly connected to and disconnected by positioning the locking member against the locking strip and pressing against the locking member to force flanges into the fastening channel of the locking strip. The locking member can be removed from the channel by pulling the locking member away from the channel to disengage the flange from the fastening channel. The locking member is particularly well-suited for use with the boat arch.

Canopy mounting system

The present invention is a boat canopy mounting system for securing a boat canopy to a boat. The system includes a first member such as a header for attachment to the boat. The first member includes at least one channel having a restricted opening. The second member is adapted to be attached to a boat canopy and has at least one locking flange for insertion into the channel of the first member. The boat canopy can be repeatably connected to and disconnected from the boat by positioning the second member against the channel of the first member and pressing against the second member to force the flanges into the channel. The second member is removable from the channels by pulling the second member away from the channels to disengage the flanges from the channels.

A camper system and method for extending the length of a boat cover. The camper system includes a link assembly that pivotally mounts to the hull of the boat and extends upward to support a boat camper. A first link is mounted to the boat hull aft of the link assembly. The first link extends away from the boat hull and couples to the link assembly. A second link also extending aft is pivotally coupled to the link assembly to support a camper extension connected to the camper. A strut is pivotally coupled between the second link and the first link to hold the second link in position. The second link slides along the first link to collapse the camper extension.

Boat camper system and method

A rounded top header extrusion for boat windshields being constructed as a unitary extruded member for rigidly engaging a boat windshield. The extrusion provides a curved upper surface for supporting a boat canopy, and a recessed channel extending inwardly into the extrusion for receiving a fastener or similar article for attachment of a boat canopy. The extrusion is defined in cross-section by a pair of generally parallel arms forming a windshield engaging channel, and a generally semi-circular rail portion extending across the channel between the arms.
