ABSTRACT:
A radar arch for connection onto a deck or superstructure of a boat adapted to supportively receive and conceal a conventional convertible boat top or bimini top when not in use. The radar arch includes an arch member having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration having a recess or pocket formed into and along substantially all the leading edge of the arch member. The entire convertible top, pivotally connected at the bottom ends of the recess, is foldably receivable into the recess when not in use. An openable cover is also provided which, in cooperation with the recess, completely encloses the folded top therewithin. The cover also has an exterior configuration which is continuous with, and completes the otherwise smooth, uninterrupted leading edge area of the arch member. The cover is also closable when the convertible top is opened and in use to provide the same smooth, uninterrupted appearance to the radar arch. The arch member may also include an elongated channel for supportively retaining the transverse trailing edge of the convertible top. Various embodiments and additional features are also disclosed.
