We built this new overhead on a 30 ft Islander  The new overhead is modular and can easily be removed with a few screws. This allows easy access to the fasteners that hold down the deck hardware. This access is critical if a piece of deck hardware should need to be rebeded in the future. The old overhead allowed no such access.  Notice the wooden braces where the overhead meets the cabin wall, they were used to hold a trim board in place.
 The underside of the catwalk in the head was finished off with Mahogany.
 | The old overhead was removed so that we could rebed the leaking deck hardware. The leaks caused the old overhead to become moldy and fall apart. The bolts holding the deck hardware on can be seen coming through the underside of the deck.  The new overhead being built.  Trim board covering the joint where the over head meets the cabin wall.
