Need help?Do you have a question about the Stryker T-Tops SG300 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Stryker SG300 T-Top is a marine accessory designed to provide shade and a mounting platform for various equipment on a boat. It consists of an aluminum frame and a Sunbrella® canopy, along with the necessary mounting hardware for installation.
The primary function of the Stryker SG300 T-Top is to offer protection from the sun and elements for occupants of a center console boat. The integrated frame also serves as a robust structure for mounting fishing rod holders, navigation lights, antennas, speakers, and other marine electronics, enhancing the boat's utility and comfort. The design aims for a balance of strength, aesthetics, and ease of installation.
The SG300 T-Top frame is constructed from aluminum, a material chosen for its corrosion resistance in marine environments and its lightweight properties. The canopy is made from Sunbrella® fabric, known for its durability, UV resistance, and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions without fading or deteriorating.
The kit includes:
The parts list details the frame components:
The installation process involves several steps, including marking mounting locations, assembling side sections, attaching the canopy, and securing the T-Top to the boat's deck. Specific drill bit sizes are mentioned for mounting: a pilot hole with a small drill bit, followed by a larger hole (3/8") for the mounting hardware. Countersinking the gelcoat is recommended to prevent stress cracking. Marine grade sealant (e.g., 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive or equivalent) is specified for sealing the mounting points.
The SG300 T-Top is designed for center console boats. Its structure allows for the attachment of various accessories, enhancing the boating experience. The installation guide emphasizes careful planning and measurement to ensure proper fit and to avoid interference with existing boat features, particularly fuel/water tanks and wiring.
For boats with a hinged center console door, the manual advises careful measurement of the door's size and clearance. Depending on the T-Top model, the lower leg sections might have a horizontal brace that could obstruct the door's opening. For the SG300, this brace is welded on. The manual suggests solutions like replacing door hinges with pins to allow the door to be pulled out, or contacting Stryker T-Tops for assistance in finding the best solution based on specific door measurements.
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for extending the life and maintaining the value of Stryker T-Top products. The manual recommends frequent light cleaning to prevent the build-up of grime and deposits that would require stronger cleaning methods.
Anodizing creates a hard finish, and mild abrasives or an abrasive cleaning sponge may sometimes be recommended for difficult grime. However, extreme caution is advised with medium to heavy cleaning. Users should start with a small hidden spot, ensure the surface is cool and out of direct sunlight, and always follow product instructions. Woody Wax Kit and Flitz Liquid Polish are mentioned as products that customers have had success with.
Regular washing with a solution of clean water and a mild detergent is the best method.
