No its the Makralon product. I shopped around and my local shop was the only one that had the machine that could have stitched the U shapes with the equipment he has. Very glad I did as the removal and storage of the U's are very easy. That sounds very reasonable for the 3 panels and you can't beat the clarity.Thx guys. Looks good Irie. Is that ez2cy?
The guy I'm looking to use, uses makralon marine 5 which sounds like a good comparable option. The big difference being you stitch in the makralon. I have an extra set of new canvas that has smoked 30g vinyl, which I'm not the biggest fan of. So I'm planning to have him use that to simply swap out the existing vinyl for new poly. $1700 for the 3 panels up front. I didn't think that sounded too bad as I hear that material is pretty pricey?
You’ve got it! I would do your second choice of running normal 30 amp to one side and the 110 with adapter to 30amp plug on the other until you can run your second 30 amp line out to dock.Mark, That makes perfect sense! Thank you for breaking it down to the basics. Now I understand what Jay, Craig, and Boaterholic said. It all makes sense. I can use a 30 amp Y-splitter or use 30 amp on power 1 and 110 with adapter on power 2 with caution.
If I understand it correctly, my best set up would be adding a second 30 amp circuit instead of trading my current 30 amp for a new 50 amp. I will need 2 30-amp cables to connect the outlets to the boat. I wonder if the electical winch (Glendinning?) could wind 2 cables at once. My house is undergoing renovation and the electrician will be upgading the main panel from 150 amp to 200 amp. It will be a perfect time to sneak the 2nd 30-amp to the dock.
Please let me know if I am making any mistakes. Thank you again!
Topic is timely as we will have to replace the three panels sometime this year. Haven't seen this on the boats around here - what thickness did you go? I assume you cannot roll it up, hence the removal of the U's? is it flexible enough that the front U could be pulled up and attached to the arch? ThksNo its the Makralon product.

Basically the canvas at the top of the U forms a hinge and the panel does swing in and attaches with snaps to the bottom of arch. At least that’s how it is on ours.Topic is timely as we will have to replace the three panels sometime this year. Haven't seen this on the boats around here - what thickness did you go?

Not certain of the thickness but it can not be rolled up. As stated above its hinged from the zipper so that you can snap to the arch.Topic is timely as we will have to replace the three panels sometime this year.
