First Boat Sea Ray 160 Closed Bow

[johnemery5]

Hi all, I have just boat my first boat and was wondering if anyone has any info or experience of this type. it is a 1989 with a 100 HP Mercury with a Sea Ray cowling. I also understand that it was a US import and has hydraulic steering. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement tonneau cover etc. Any info would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!:grin:

Welcome aboard. Okay dumb question if it is a closed bow why do you need a tonneau cover?

Welcome to CSR, you can source a replacement toneau cover at greatlakesboattop.com, they made your original and should be able to provide a replacement.

Hi, by tonneau i mean the cover which attaches to the screen and covers the deck to the stern, which we use when towing the boat.

Chuck, British to American translation for toneau is probably cockpit cover.

Thanks dasch boat, i will have a look at their web site, but i thought they only did them for post 1993 models?

Okay that is going to be the cockpit cover. A Tonneau cover is for an open bow boat. It cover the bow area.

Sorry but I don't know what year Great Lakes cuts off at, I'm sure someone will verify that. It has been a decade since I purchased canvas from them. Another option would be to have a local canvas or sail shop make one for you.

Interesting:lol: I have to agree with you about great lakes boat top. I'm not sure if they made it for your boat.

Thanks for that, you can tell I am new to this! The boat is a 1989 model and from what I can see Great Lakes only do the covers for 1993 models onwards?
