Hey guys is it possible to purchase a ready made dodger or spray hood to suit an Eclipse .
Nice if it attached to the Bimini .

I'd imagine that's going to have to be custom made by a marine fabricator. I know you can find biminis ready made all day long...but dodgers are a different animal. You'll also need a fabricator to make the connector piece. If you have a good bimini, it should have a 2" flap on the front and back to which you can add zippers for connectors, curtains, etc.

There are dodger do it yourself directions and pictures on the site somewhere. Do a search and you can probably find it. I don't recall the guys name that did the work.

Thanks for your replies and info , I did see the website for sail rite Dodgers and might have to look at that . Not too good on the sewing machine tho.
I previously had a Macgregor and they had a couple of suppliers for Dodgers , that you could order on line ,even complete cockpit enclosures, being an American company .i thought the same might apply to Hutchinson boats .
I've also thought just a zip on attachment to the Bimini and straight down to the companionway hatch might suffice .
