Ive always wanted one of these. Just so dang afraid of that knee killer of a mount. Happen to you yet?

The mounts fit tight to side of bolster and the pole actually is against the seat at the top of the bolter. It is a 6 ft umbrella and is actually bigger than my buddies anchor shade. I have half a beer gone by the time he has his up. All I do when I am not using my shade is turn the bracketts inward under the bolster. Never in the way.

I had one of these sun shades from Overtons, put it up on my boat in the driveway as a test wasnt to bad. Went to the lake and on a day with a slight breeze it provided a huge amount of entertainment for many wifes watching three men fight it. It was on a 272 Islander, it looked good and was plenty big enough just not very durable.sold it with the boat.

Anchor shades are easy to use and stand up fine in a breeze. you must not have set it right or something.

Expand the umbrella, hook it to the front/side cleats then go back and hook it to the back/side cleats. Adjust it once for the boat and it will be ready to go any time. The shade is great. I've only used mine a half a dozen times, but man when you need it you need it. Would be nice if it was a little taller and even bigger, but it is pretty darn good as it is.

I love mine! My cockpit is a little small. I like to set the center post on my back seat on a frisbee and it covers the sunpad nicely. for those really hot sunny days. Its awesome!
