Time for a cheap solution to beat the heat in the dog days of summer and to keep the rain at bay. Spent around $75.00 on this fix, but remember...you get what you pay for! Music: "Double Helix" by Ethan Meixsell

Dude! This is fricking genuis! I was considering a bimini top but it looked like the mounts would be in the way of casting. This is on the list of upgrades for my little fiberglass fishing boat. Mind blown!!

This is a great idea. The big issue with bimini tops is that they are made to cover the driver area...not the front fishing deck. Now I can deploye the umbrella on the fishing deck so I have cover while my wife and kid sit back under the primary bimini by the drivers area. The entire boat will basically have shade now. Love the seat pole mount...that solves the issue with umbrellas being unstable on the water when it's windy.
@MasterCrowOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Mounting the umbrella in different locations is a nice option. When I troll, I have in in the drivers area, when I'm anchored I use it on either the front or back deck!

I like it and with the heat we are having you need something and to keep the sun off I had a spot takin off my ear two weeks ago it wasn't cancer but the doc said if I wouldn't of had it removed it would have turned in to cancer scary stuff.

TF-Real glad to hear your ok. I always slap on the sunblock and wear a hat for that very reason. Used the sunshade a couple times and it's kept me on the water, where typically I'd come off due to the heat!

What is the 3in fitting called having a hard time finding something similar
@MasterCrowOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
It is a ABS 3" Hub X 3" Hub X 1 1/2" Hub Tee. Once I joined the two 3" inch hubs together I cut both outer ends off to make it fit to the length of the pedestal.

go amazon or ebay pay $90 get a Bimini, if your going to screw eye bolts into your boat and have lines running down then you can put a bimini top also.
@MasterCrowOutdoors3 жыл бұрын
The bimini top is an option, but not a fan of the extra supports to get around on the gunnels compared to a center post.
