Sew it yourself! This Dodger Skin Kit for a 2-bow frame contains all the materials needed to sew the fabric portion of a dodger including Sunbrella® Marine Grade Fabric. Skin kits can be used to replace the fabric on an existing dodger frame or can be paired with our Dodger Frame Kit to create a new, custom dodger from start to finish. Dodger tops, also known as sprayhoods, protect from the sun and offer shelter from rain and spray.

The Sailrite® Dodger Skin Kit features zippered tubing sleeves for easy removal and storage and a fabric tail at the aft edge to prevent water from wicking back under the dodger. A vinyl fabric facing along the forward edge, which attaches to the deck, reinforces fasteners and helps reduce wrinkles. This dodger skin kit is intended to be used with frames that use rigid support struts (included in our Dodger Frame Kit) — webbing strap hardware is not included.

When sewing and fabricating a dodger skin kit, protecting the clear vinyl window material is very important. Because of this, Sailrite includes a protective fabric called Protect-It™ fabric in the kit. This soft material is taped to the clear vinyl to help protect it from accidental scratches that may occur when fabricating the dodger. After the dodger is complete, the Protect-It fabric can then be used as a backing to make Sunbrella snap-on window covers if you choose (ordering more Sunbrella may be required and you will need cloth-to-cloth snap fasteners).

Making your own custom dodger skin is easy! This kit includes all the necessary materials.

This kit will accommodate a maximum frame width of 84" and a nominal height of 40" at its maximum spread with a maximum length fore and aft of up to 70" (includes the front dodger panel to the deck).

Dodger Skin Kits do not include frames, fittings and rigid supports; those are sold separately or as a complete set in our Dodger Frame Kit. Our finished dodger photos show a few optional features: a roll-up front window (zippers and binding for which are not included) and a rear frame chafing guard strip (Naugahyde® not included). Separate videos show how to add these features and what items need to be ordered additionally. To find these, search #300393XHT or #300398XHT.
