Almost all the latest cruisers feature an electric sliding sunroof because enjoying the fresh air and warm sun is one of the best parts of boating.  But, what if you have an older boat with a hardtop?

Similar to other Webasto Sunroofs, the Series 40 is extremely quiet and has a watertight seal.  Options include a sunblind/fly screen, fixed panel for panoramic views and motor cover.  The Series 40 is delivered fully assembled, quality-tested and ready for installation. Webasto’s Series 40 Sunroofs have a list price of $7,765. plus installation.
