Harris tritoon windshield??

#1 Post by SebagoBill » Wed May 15, 2024 6:09 pm

Last summer I bought a new 2023 Harris Sunliner 230.
We keep it on a large lake in Maine which can get a bit rough at times. The boat handles the rough water really well with excellent passenger comfort!
My problem is: the windshield needs to be taller to help deflect wind/rain/splash.
My dealer tells me Harris offers nothing. I was hoping someone could direct me to an aftermarket windshield that might help.

Thanks in advance!

You likely won't find a clean bolt-on solution. I have seen universal clip-on motorcycle windshield extensions though. Maybe one of those would work. Another option is a shorter seat ha ha.

I have pretty much the same boat. Not really sure why they even bother with the windshield. Pretty pathetic.
A custom canvas/boat shop may have a way to make one for you????
I am the guy at the boat ramp that gives you dirty looks when you are a complete idiot and too stupid to know it.

Godfrey feels the same. My friend's new Sweetwater tritoon didn't come with one or a helm setup that would even accept one easily. It WAS designed however to allow water to pour into the inside of the helm. Kinda like this (Godrey site):
