  • 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:

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.

  • 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 Grey #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.

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.

  • Flat, extruded 30-mil (0.030" thick, often called "30ga" or "30 gauge") clear, marine grade vinyl (often called "Eisenglass" or "Isinglass") as specified by the boat manufacturer. 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.

  • premium, flexible Urethane-coated poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) sheet "glass" (60% higher cost) engineered to be ultra clear and resistant to the damaging effects from the sun's rays, environmental fallout and scratching from handling. It also blocks out the UltraViolet (UV) spectrum of light (90% UVA, 99% UVB, 99% UVC). Read more about 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!
