It stands 54 inches tall over 72 inches of length, and the Cadet Gray Sunbrella canvas keeps the sun off your crew without boxing in the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Carver 3-bow bimini gives you real shade over an open center console without boxing in the boat. This is the A5475TB-10, built for center console bay boats, center console fishing boats, and Whaler style hulls that measure 73 to 78 inches across at the mounting point. It stands 54 inches tall at the top and runs 72 inches front to back, so you get a good stretch of cover over the helm and the front of the cockpit while the fishing space stays wide open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is 3-bow round tube aluminum with an anodized finish. Round tube is the lighter, cleaner-looking option, and it folds down flat and tidy when you drop the top for trailering or a run at speed. Anodized aluminum handles sun and spray well, though if you run in salt we'd tell you to give the frame a fresh water rinse now and then to keep it looking sharp. It's manual operation, so you raise it and lower it by hand. On most center consoles that's a thirty second job, and it's easier with a second set of hands the first few times until you get the rhythm of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric is where this top earns its keep. Carver uses Sunbrella and Outdura premium acrylic, the same solution-dyed canvas that holds its color season after season. This one's Cadet Gray, a soft neutral that works on just about any hull color and doesn't soak up heat the way a dark canvas does. The fabric is water repellent, UV resistant, and mildew resistant, so it sheds a passing shower, blocks the sun off your neck on a long day, and doesn't turn into a science project when you leave it folded and damp. It won't make the boat waterproof, and it's not meant to. A bimini is shade and sun protection first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment is the part to get right before you order. That 73 to 78 inch number is the width the top covers, measured rail to rail at the spot where the mounting hardware lands, not the overall beam of the boat. Measure across your gunnels at the mount point, and if you're between sizes, Carver builds this same top in a range of widths so there's usually a clean match. The 54 inch height clears most center console t-tops and leaning posts, but check your aft bow location against the leaning post and any livewell or cooler lids so nothing fouls when it folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody running an open center console who wants to get out of the sun. Bay boat guys poling the flats, families on a Whaler doing sandbar days, weekend anglers who spend six hours on the water and are tired of cooking. The top packs down into the included storage boot, a fitted sleeve that zips over the folded bundle so the canvas isn't flapping around at 40 knots or chafing on the frame during a tow. That boot is a nice touch that a lot of budget tops skip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few real-world notes from boaters who run these. The round tube frame is light, which is great for handling, but on a tall 54 inch setup the straps can stretch over time, so keep them snug and swap them if they start to give. If you want more than just overhead shade, Carver makes matching side curtains, a front connector, and console covers in the same Cadet Gray canvas, so you can build toward a fuller enclosure down the road without a color mismatch. Start with the top, add pieces as you need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: it's a well-made, USA-built shade top from a company that's been sewing marine canvas for over 30 years. Get your width measurement right, mount it clean, rinse the frame after salt days, and this Cadet Gray Carver will keep the sun off your crew for a long time.\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 aluminum frame with anodized finish, light and folds flat for trailering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e54 inch top height clears most center console t-tops and leaning posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72 inch length covers the helm and the forward cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 73 to 78 inch width, measured rail to rail at the mounting point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCadet Gray Sunbrella and Outdura premium acrylic canvas, solution-dyed for lasting color\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater repellent, UV resistant, and mildew resistant fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual operation, raises and lowers by hand in seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a fitted storage boot to protect the folded canvas during a tow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt 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 boats does the A5475TB-10 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for center console bay boats, center console fishing boats, and Whaler style hulls that measure 73 to 78 inches across at the mounting point.
