My Bow dodger is great, but alas...problems as I have a suntop and not the Mills top I ordered but didnt get with the Nantucket:( That means the bow dodger will hook to the next piece of canvas(i guess the middle piece, but it has nothing to zip to on the bimini top(no zipper) I have to figure whats the best way to join everything...Mills tells me they might be able to put a zipper on the end of the Bimini, but Id have to get it down and ship it to them UGH, or just buy the right top that has a zipper... Very expensive...any ideas from the crew????

I moved this out here thinking it might get more responses.

I think this is a question that Bugsy might be uniquely qualified to provide input on given his involvement in the marine canvas industry.

Yiddil - your local canvas shop should be able to sew a zipper into place on your sun-top that could also double as a windshield, however, it may be just a better solution to go with two setups (like Kingfish has done on his 22' Outrage) with a suntop for those hot days when you need relief from the sun, and the rest of the mills set when you need shelter from the elements.

Just my thoughts...
