Brand New, Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Boat Canvas
Canvas, curtains, enclosures and covers are offered as an option by most boat manufacturers.
This canvas is made for the boat manufacturer by an Original-Equpment-Manufacturer (OEM)
and sold with the boat by the boat dealer.
The boat dealer is able to provide the factory orignal canvas for your boat
from the boat manufacturer (or OEM) when its new and for several years thereafter.
After a few years, many dealers no longer carry or have access to the OEM canvas
(or the dealer or boat manufacturer may have closed or not be close by).
RNR-Marine™ offers the OEM canvas
for hundreds of thousands of boat models back
to the 1990s - available online for purchase and typically shipping within one to three weeks.
All of our canvas is made in the USA (and always has been)
using American made fabrics.
This is the Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas
offered from the factory (or through your boat dealer) with your year/model boat.
Our OEM manufacturers made that canvas, and we have the patterns to
make brand new canvas to your specific order (any color and trim)
using brand new Sunbrella®, Weblon®, Stamoid®, Aqualon® or Vinyl
marine fabric.
We have the exact Factory (OEM) pattern
(we have 10,000's of patterns)
that was originally used to make the Factory Original-Equipment canvas for a perfect fit.
Many canvas shops offer "factory replacement canvas",
but they do NOT have the original factory patterns like we do -
they usually take your old canvas (which we made to begin with) and try to copy it.
This is costly and hard to replace when it wears out.
We recommend using the boat/model search at the top or right of the page to find canvas and covers for your boat!

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,
OEM Seat-Covers,
OEM Leaning-Post-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.
-
100% Solution Dyed 9 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Grey, Tan, Navy Blue or Black)
is used for
TTopCovers® T-Top/Hard-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.
Top-Notch® Elite® is breathable, reversible, water repellent, UV resistant,
dimensionally stable (won't sag or stretch) and mildew resistant.
Because the yarn is solution dyed, color fastness is very good.
Top-Notch Elite® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
-
100% Solution Dyed 8 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Navy Blue or
Black)
is used for
T-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.

The HydroMAX® finish raises the bar of hydrostatic performance and
delivers unsurpassed water repellency, mildew and oil resistance
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.
-
heavy duty, 600-denier, 7.6oz./sq.yd. solution dyed, marine grade polyester fabric

is used for
Carver®
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™ Trailerable and
Over-Top Boat Covers,
Universal Seat-Covers and
Universal Leaning-Post Covers.
100% Solution Dyed polyester means Sun-DURA® colors are part of the polyester fiber itself,
rather than the dye adhering only to the surface of the fibers.

Carver®'s own unique finish provides exceptional water repellency while maintaining breathability for the health of the boat.
Made in USA by Glen Raven Mills® (North Carolina manufacturer of Sunbrella®) for Carver® Industries.
Carver® Sun-DURA® is backed by a
7 Year Limited Warranty.
-
Black Resilience™

pigmented vinyl coated (always white vinyl on the inside),
9oz./sq.yd. 2-ply polyester fabric

-
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.

-
open weave vinyl covered polyester "Standard Mesh Solids" fabric
(very breathable) is used on
Gear-Nets and Mesh Windshield-Covers.

wide variety of Phifertex® colors,
most Gear-Nets and Windshield-Covers are Black, Grey or White.
-
Visors, Connectors, Spray-Shields,
Enclosures, Side-Curtains, Aft-Curtains and Gull-Wings
are typically made with a combination of canvas (above) and either:
- Flat, extruded 30-mil (0.030" thick, often called "30ga" or "30 gauge") clear, marine grade vinyl
(often called "Eisenglass" or "Isinglass")

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!

I couldn't have asked for better work or a quicker turnaround
on the job.
I put my canvas in the mail to them on a Friday
and it was back to me the next Wednesday.
They knew I was going fishing the following weekend and needed it,
but they didn't know me from Methuzula.
My bill was right around $425 for new t-top canvas and front vinyl
replacement
(and zipper) on my spray shield."

"Added the side curtains to my Sea Pro 210WA. What a difference!
Saved a lot over what the local canvs guys wanted to pattern it custom,
and they fit perfectly!"

"Installed my new sprayshield this week.
The Sea Pro 206 is a REALLY wet ride.
I was running side by side with a 17 Boston Whaler
and getting no where near
as much water in the face.
Fortunatelly the sprayshield was there.
I also had a lot of compliments loading the boat about having a shield.
Surprisingly I've never seen a sprayshield down in Galveston."

Compare:
A local canvas shop will need to measure your boat or canvas,
create a pattern from scratch and custom make a canvas for you.
This costs more than simply making a canvas from an existing, proven pattern.
For example, a local canvas shop typically charges
$10 to $15 per square foot for a replacement T-Top canvas.
A typical aluminum T-Top is about 5' x 8' = 40 square feet,
which amounts to $400 to $600.
Add state and local sales tax
(6-12% ... RNR-Marine™ doesn't collect sales tax for mail order)
for a total of $425 to $675 total at the local canvas shop.
By comparison, most RNR-Marine factory OEM replacement T-Top canvas
are just
Error processing SSI file
plus $19 shipping and NO sales tax in 49 states (except SC).
