Hi Folks,
I have a 18' Robalo CC and I am considering adding a bow dogder. I would like to receive some input from others who also have dodgers. What features are good, what to avoid etc. Is access to the anchor a major pain with a dodger? Any thoughts on a traditional stainless steel frame vs. the batten system that I've seen advertised? I'm located in the Metrowest Boston area, are there any good installers locally? Or perhaps you could suggest an installer in the Mid-Cape area. What have others paid for their dodgers?

Here are some pictures of the one I got with my 18 maritime skiff.

Get a roll up eisenglass window in the bow. Make sure the when it's folded down it's not in your way. No problem accessing anchor locker.
Keeps your bow down wind in a breeze which is great for drifting for fluke etc.
Get sunbrella and it will last.
The company that makes them, I believe is in Maine.
