Every dodger is full of compromises…
…until now
Drop top dodgers
Gemini Marine Products makes tough choices a thing of the past.
You don’t have to choose between:
- Space within vs an attractive profile
- Good visibility and strong frames vs greater window wear, damage and difficult storage
- Adequate coverage vs interference with winches, cockpits and side decks
Our drop top dodger replaces all these simply – with a better dodger.
Now dodgers can have it all
By creating a frame supported by four offshore-rugged, stainless steel GemLock folding struts you get:
- Full-time wind and spray protection
- A permanent windshield with excellent visibility from the helm
- No straps or struts in the cockpit or near winches
- Greater access to companionway and side decks
- A top that’s quick and easy to remove
- A collapsible frame with no disassembly
- Easier stowage with no damage
