Four Winns®:
We ONLY have factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas for 2002 to current Four Winns® boats with Factory Towers or Radar Arches. We do not have OEM canvas for Four Winns® boats prior to 2002, or boats without Radar Arches.
Started as Safe-T-Mate Boat Company® in Cadillac, MI in 1962, Four Winns® was purchased by four members of the Winn family in 1975 and later purchased by Outboard Motor Coporation® (OMC) in 1987 and later by Genmar® in the 1990s. FourWins® has a long tradition of producing quality ski and recreational boats. The USCG Manufacturers Identification Code (the MIC is the 1st 3 letters of the Hull-Identication-Number, HIN) was 4WN from 1975 to 5/11/1994, FWN until 3/2/2001 and GFN until 1/26/2010, when the company closed its Cadillac, MI plant for business. Recreational Boat Holdings®, LLC purchased the plant and molds in 2010 and began producing boats (MIC code PFW as of 1/25/2010) again at the Cadillac, MI plant.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas for Four Winns® boats: RNR-Marine™ is a leading dealer for who patterned and manufactured Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) canvas for Four Winns® 180, 190, 200, 203, 210, 220. 230, 240 and 250 Horizon; 194, 204, 214, 224, 234 and 244 Funship; 268, 278, 288, 298, 328, 338, 348, 358 and 378 Vista; F204, F224, F244, H180, H190, H200, H203, H210, H220, H240, H260, V278, V288, V298, V328, V338, V358, V378 and V458 boats from 2002 to current.
We produce new canvas (diagram explaining what each piece of canvas is called) in the Black(08), Forest-Green(37), Captain-Navy(46), Taupe(48, Four Winns Sandstone) and Jockey-Red(03) Sunbrella(r) and White Stamoid fabric colors originally offered by Four Winns®, or any color you like. Note: Zippers on OEM canvas are size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Four Winns® installed the snaps in the boats, canvas and covers at their factory, so we cannot install the canvas snaps for you because we do not have locations (see Canvas/Snap Installation to learn about installing snaps). Four Winns® OEM canvas part number scheme: [yyFWmmm mm wAr-xxxxx-fcc] where [yy] is the year, [FW] is Four Winns, [mmm mm] is the model ([190 HOR ] or [278VIST] for example), [t] is the type of windshield (S=Std or W=optional stainless), [A] is Arch, [r] is the revision, [xxxxx] identifies which canvas piece, [f] is the fabric (A=Sunbrella acrylic, S=SeaMark) and [cc] is the color code. HIN = 4WNsssssmbyy , yy=model-year. We cannot sell canvas direct for new Four Winns® boats (less than 3 years old). Windows are made with 30ga Eisenglass flat (not rolled) clear vinyl window material. Specifications, care and cleaning of Sunbrella(r) and White Stamoid , 30ga Eisenglass flat (not rolled) clear vinyl and other canvas materials are detailed below. In some cases (if the boat mfgr is out of business for example) you can upgrade the windows to Strataglass coated clear vinyl (approx. 50-60 percent more cost), however the standard Eisenglass (clear vinyl) will last for many years with proper care, cleaning and storage. We utilize our library of 1,000's of patterns to produce new, "made-to-order" Factory Original canvas for your Four Winns® boat. This is the same canvas originally offered from the Four Winns® Factory and sold by your local Four Winns® dealer (local dealers may only go back 5 years or so however, and charge local sales tax, which we do not charge except in SC and FL). No other canvas manufacturer has these patterns or the ability to produce the exact factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement canvas and covers that were offered from the Four Winns® Factory when your boat was new.
Please be sure that you have the Factory Four Winns® frame or matching canvas.
Size #10 (5 teeth/inch) and #8 (6 teeth/inch) zipper comparison and measurement |
- Compare your canvas or frame to the Four Winns® factory OEM photos shown here,
- Check for tags with Four Winns® OEM part numbers on existing canvas,
- Verify that your existing canvas has # 8 gauge zippers
(factory original-equipment Four Winns® OEM zipper size):
- #8 gauge zippers have 6 teeth per inch and will NOT zip to #10 zippers,
- #10 gauge zippers have 5 teeth per inch and will NOT zip to #8 zippers,
- See zipper size comparison photo at right,
- Please note that after-market canvas makers often use the large #10 gauge zippers.
- The zipper gauge size is actually the height of the teeth, 8mm or 10mm tall for example. (#8 has 8mm tall teeth and #10 is 10mm tall for example). Since it is very difficult to measure the zipper tooth height, the easiest way to measure zipper size is to count the number of teeth over 2 inches: a #8 zipper has 12 teeth over 2 inches and a #10 zipper has 10 teeth over 2 inches.
Additional Shade for Four Winns® boats : When its hot you can never have enough shade. Our Boat Shade Kits (starting at $524.00 , SALE PRICE: $487.32 (End of Summer Sale)) extend shade over the cockpit or bow (can even be used like a Spray-Dodger) and can be put up or taken down in minutes.
Factory Original-Equipment (OEM) Covers for Four Winns® boats : We offer Factory OEM Bow and Cockpit Covers (typically in durable Sunbrella®) to fit your Four Winns® boat perfectly.
Custom After-Market Covers for Four Winns® boats : We also offer after-market Carver® Custom-Fit™ Boat Covers (from $239), Styled-To-Fit™Boat Covers (from $229) and in Sunbrella® marine fabric (the best quality, breathable fabric for covers) as well as some excellent high-quality, but less expensive materials, that are designed as a precise fit using measurements taken from your particular model of outboard motor.

Vinyl ...
Some of our aftermarket Tops and Factory OEM canvas are offered in marine grade Vinyl fabric.
Proposition 65 is a California law
intended to protect consumers in the state of California from exposure to certain chemicals that may be harmful.
The law requires that businesses notify Californians prior to sale if a product contains certain chemicals.
The law also requires that the manufacturer label the product with a warning.
Vinyl often contains the chemical Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is on the list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DINP belongs to a family of chemicals commonly added to plastics to make them flexible (products such as garden hoses, athletic shoes, automobile and marine seating).
Exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation and, to a lesser extent, dermal contact.
While such products are perfectly safe to use in their intended manner, the law still requires that we warn Californians of the presence of the chemical.
- RNR-Marine™ recommends cleaning your canvas or cover to maintain its original beauty and increase longevity.
-
- Covers
are made of a fabric with a weave that can "breathe"
to prevent mold and mildew.
Vinyl or vinyl coated fabric, such as
Weblon®, Stamoid®, Top Gun® or SeaMark® are not
recommended for covers, since the material does not breathe to ventilate the covered space.
We offer covers (depending on boat manufacturer) in one or more of the following fabrics:
-
Solution Dyed 100% Acrylic 9.5 oz./sq.yd. marine fabric
is used for
Console-Covers,

Bow Covers,
Cockpit Covers and
Mooring Covers.
This durable, 9.5 ounce per square yard fabric is colorfast and mildew resistant,
and is backed by the
Sunbrella® 10-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
Sunbrella® is the premium cover fabric in our opinion, since it is tough,
breathes and the fabric is woven with solution dyed acrylic fibers,
which last longer than polyester and retain colors extremely well.
Sunbrella® is made in the US (Anderson, SC) by Glenn Raven Mills®,
and is offered for all of our Factory OEM canvas and covers,
as well as our Carver® after-market
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™
Boat Covers and Bimini Tops.

Top-Notch® Elite® is breathable, reversible, water repellent, UV resistant,

Because the yarn is solution dyed, color fastness is very good.

5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.

(in Navy Blue or
Black)

without relying on environmentally unfriendly coating compounds.
WeatherMAX® has
anti-microbial properties
and a minimum UV resistance of 1000 hours
but only weighs 8.0 oz. per square yard
due to the use of a filament rather than a spun yarn like acrylic fabrics.
Excellent for anything from horse blankets to tough outerwear to marine grade tarps.
WeatherMAX® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.

Poly/Cotton Duck ...
50/50 polyester/cotton "Duck" fabric
(from Dutch "doek")
is a heavy, plain woven blended fabric
offering the advantages of both cotton and polyester fibers blended in one fabric.
Cotton is a fully breathable fabric, which helps prevent mold and mildew in your boat.
However, as the thickness increases, the breathability decreases.
100% cotton tends to rip and wear out easily, depending on the weave.
Cotton canvas is a very durable and abrasion-resistant fabric,
but it can be very thick and heavy.
Polyester does not breathe, but it is very elastic and
therefore tends to be very tear resistant.
However, it is not as abrasion-resistant as cotton canvas.
Poly/Cotton blend fabrics combine the strengths of the two fibers.
Poly/cotton fabric is breathable, tear-resistant,
and can be fashioned into abrasion-resistant fabrics, like canvas.
We make many older Factory OEM Mooring Covers
(to order) in

#6 weight (13oz per 36"x22" piece) 50/50 Poly/Cotton Duck fabric.
- Vinyl ... Some of our Factory OEM covers are available in marine grade Vinyl fabric. Proposition 65 is a California law intended to protect consumers in the state of California from exposure to certain chemicals that may be harmful. The law requires that businesses notify Californians prior to sale if a product contains certain chemicals. The law also requires that the manufacturer label the product with a warning. Vinyl often contains the chemical Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is on the list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. DINP belongs to a family of chemicals commonly added to plastics to make them flexible (products such as garden hoses, athletic shoes, automobile and marine seating). Exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation and, to a lesser extent, dermal contact. While such products are perfectly safe to use in their intended manner, the law still requires that we warn Californians of the presence of the chemical.

Strataglass® advantages.
Strataglass® is available in 20-mil (0.020"), 30-mil (aka 30ga = 0.030" thick),
40-mil (0.040") or 60-mil (0.060" = ~1/16") thickness.
The 40-mil is available in a clear, light smoke or dark smoke tint,
which is a special order (adds another 10% to the cost and 2 more weeks).
We recommend 30-mil for fishing boats, since the thicker vinyl is hard to roll up offshore.
Yachts may use 40-mil or 60-mil (even more costly) when the vinyl is seldom (if ever) rolled.
Strataglass® claims a
5 year life expectancy (care & exposure dependent),
but notes that many yacht owners see 10 or more years of use with proper care.
- RNR-Marine™ recommends cleaning and removing all clear-vinyl prior to trailering, to avoid the harmful efects of rocks, bugs and oils on the vinyl!
