The Element is a universal fit instant cabin; it is available in five sizes. There is nothing like our item on the market. What make our product special and unique are our proprietary design and the product ability to form its shape for each and every boat.
The boat owner will decide the desired shape of the canopy that suite his boat’s bow. Our instant cabin, THE ELEMENT comes with pre-cut, high finished pvc track; you will shape the track according to your boat’s bow shape and dimension. As long the track will be installed correctly, – which is a very simple and easy installation – it is 100% guarantee that the canopy will be a perfect fit.

Small size dodger will keep your supply and gear dry, diverts light chop, and it would be a great shelter to stay out of the sun. It is really a dodger.

Simply lay the supplied track according to your vessel’s bow shape and dimensions, slide in the bottom section of the canopy, attach the top section of the canopy and watch how it conform to accommodate your vessel. The way the fabric pieces are designed, cut, and constructed allow the canopy to adjust to various bow shapes with ease.
The ELEMENT is the first and only prefab instant cabin that fits virtually any center console boat without the need for expensive customization. It functions as a complete shelter with the ability to be transformed as a fully closed, weather-tight cabin, allowing it to accommodate boaters for overnight stays aboard. You can turn your day trips into weekend adventures! In contrast, old fashioned bow dodgers, Bimini tops, and boat covers are not weather-tight cabins. They cannot protect you from harsh weather or mosquitoes and other flying insects, nor do they provide adequate airflow in an enclosed space.
