Anodized aluminum frame, genuine Sunbrella acrylic canvas in Pacific Blue, and a matching storage boot. It stands 54 inches tall and runs 72 inches fore to aft, so you get real shade without cluttering the cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarver has been sewing boat canvas in the USA for over 30 years, and the A5463UB-04 is a good example of why anglers keep coming back. It's a 3-bow bimini top sized for center console and bay-style fishing boats with a beam of 61 to 66 inches at the mounting points. You get 54 inches of headroom under the frame and 72 inches of coverage front to back, which is enough to shade the helm and the person standing next to you without turning your cockpit into a tent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is round-tube anodized aluminum, and that anodizing matters out here. Bare aluminum pits and chalks in salt air, and the anodized layer slows that down considerably. The tubing is light enough to raise and lower by hand, and the whole thing folds back into the included storage boot when you're running hard or trailering home. Manual operation keeps it simple. There's no motor to burn out, no wiring to corrode, just a frame you set up in about a minute once it's mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanvas is genuine Sunbrella and Outdura premium acrylic in Pacific Blue. This is the real stuff, solution-dyed acrylic that resists fading, sheds water, and won't grow mildew the way cheaper polyester tops do. We've seen these canvases hold their color through years of hard summer use. Sunbrella carries its own manufacturer warranty against fading, which tells you something about how long the fabric is built to last. The Pacific Blue is a deep, saturated marine blue that looks right on a white or gray hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Center console fishing boats and bay boats in roughly the 16 to 20 foot range, where the mounting width lands between 61 and 66 inches. Bay boats and center consoles both work as long as you've got a flat spot on the gunwale or a rail to mount the deck hinges. Measure before you buy. The single most common mistake is guessing the width. Get a tape across the exact spots where the mounting hardware will land, gunwale to gunwale, and confirm you're inside that 61 to 66 inch window. If you've added rails or a wider rubrail, account for that too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a manual job that involves drilling into the gunwale or rail to set the mounting plates. Take your time here. Pre-fit the plates, mark your holes, and bed everything in a good marine sealant so you don't chase leaks later. A little dielectric grease on the frame joints and hinge pins goes a long way, especially if you keep the boat in the water. Hit those pins again at haul-out so they don't seize over the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top ships with a color-matched storage boot, so when the bimini is folded down the canvas zips away and stays protected on the trailer or at the dock. It's a small thing that adds years to the fabric by keeping road grime and constant flapping off it. On bay boats that see a lot of chop, some owners add an extra pair of mid-ship straps to steady the frame at speed. The factory straps do the job, but a little extra tension never hurts when you're pounding across open water in a stiff breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bimini like this earns its keep on any boat that spends real time in the sun. It drops the cockpit temperature, keeps your electronics and your crew out of direct UV, and folds away clean when you don't need it. If you want a full setup down the road, Carver builds matching console covers and side curtains in the same Pacific Blue canvas so you can button the boat up completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note: this is a straightforward, no-frills top. It's manual, it's built to a price that makes sense, and it does one job well. If you're after a powered top that raises at the touch of a button, that's a different product. For most center console and bay boat owners who just want reliable shade that holds up season after season, the A5463UB-04 is exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-bow round-tube design for center console and bay boats, 54 inches of headroom under the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72 inch fore-to-aft coverage shades the helm and a second person without crowding the cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits mounting widths from 61 to 66 inches, gunwale to gunwale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnodized aluminum frame resists salt-air pitting and chalking better than bare tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Sunbrella and Outdura solution-dyed acrylic canvas resists fading, water, and mildew\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePacific Blue marine canvas holds its color through years of summer sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual operation, no motor or wiring to fail, sets up by hand in about a minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor-matched storage boot included to protect the folded canvas on the trailer and at the dock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFolds flat for running, trailering, and off-season storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA by Carver with over 30 years of marine canvas experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Carver by Covercraft reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat does the A5463UB-04 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for center console and bay-style fishing boats where the mounting width runs 61 to 66 inches, gunwale to gunwale.
