Foldable T-Top

[h2ocoach]

Hi all! Good luck with this website. On one of the other sites someone had a foldable t-top for a 2002 190, I am looking for info and pictures. Any help would be great! This is my second Triumph, I had a 17, I think the boats are great. Any modifications on the 190 would be terrific to see. 8)

If you have a t top that will fold made, don't forget, there are brackets that are inserted into the hull that holds the top in. I'm not sure that a dealer can get them from the factory without buying a t top assy.

Welcome to the site h2ocoach. Several 190 modifications have been listed by 190steve, me and others in the Gallery section. Don’t be bashful; ask as many questions as necessary. That is what this site is for.

Hey Dick, got any pictures of these brackets and where they fit?

[Dick@merrittmarine]

The brackets are installed under the floor. To put them in, you remove the long hatches on each side of the console [we call them banana hatches], drill 6" access holes and bolt the brackets in. The t-top is bolted through the floor and brackets. I'll try to get pictures.

i had a removable t-top that was affixed to the center console and didnt require any access holes to be cut.
if i can ever figure how to get my pictures to this site , i post this top.
it was made by taylor made but i have since seen the same top being sold at places like tractor supply and other ag centers for tractors..
not a fold down ,but lifts off and will lay down in front of console.

Hi GGC! I posted a "tutorial" (if you can call it that) yesterday morning on uploading pictures. I hope it helps. Here is the link:

BTW, if you're still having problems with the picture upload email me offline with a phone number and convenient time and I'll call you to step through it. I think it is very straightforward, but there may be something going on with your connection or server, ya never know.

I think we found the gentleman with the t-top, this top is great it mounts to the console.I am looking for a contact number, and as always the pictures would be great. You guys wait to see this top it is great!! I am also looking to put a bow dodger on my 190 any ideas? By the way, I have the info on the top that it is made by Taylor but, I know it is retro fitted by a smaller company. Keep up the great work. Thank you

hi coach
i finally figured how to post pictures and i thought i would let you know it was me that had the removable t-top. i didnt post all the pics i took but put a couple on here just to give you guys an idea of how it looked and how it was affixed to the boat. it was a very economical alternative to the factory tops and i had lights, antennas and curtains on it and it did the job.
any questions just fire away. i do think the current Taylor Made model is different from the one i got back in '01 but the ag center tops are the same as mine

Hey guys. Found this link: http://www.ncsmartop.com/
Is this similar to what you're looking at?

Hey Logical-Al, would you have the number where I could call, for the top. I know it is made by Taylor, but it retrofitted by someone else. Thanks for the pics and your time.
