Question on the new SternShade

[Holdmybeer]

My old Mojo has cup holders at the rear corners. It wouldn't take much to machine an insert that would replace those with rod holders. Go ahead and make a couple hdpe rings for the underside to reinforce the glass and screw them down. If I can get the angle similar to Taco Marines video, just order the kit from them and done.

The front is a different story but the point of the boat is to have some sunlight....lol

Something like this would work fine,

I was told same thing about not being able to add them to my 2022 Makai because it’s not reinforced unless it’s ordered that way.

I think that's a load of BS because they don't want to do it.
There's no real force on anything and it's a metal insert that bolts into the glass, very very little likelyhood of damage.

A wake tower yes absolutely, I mean you're putting 1000's of lbs of force on it when you're pulling up a boarder, but a tent pole holding a tarp? Yeah they are blowing smoke up your ass IMO

So the “tent” poles are carbon fiber 5/8” dia. 4ft in length. Very stout

I haven’t looked at the mounting area yet to assess the reenforcement, but given it’s proximity to the cup holder (SA, SL, SE) I can’t see what more they could add their.

The tarp is the same as screen shading mesh, not canvas, so it will allow airflow. There are two buckles that connect to knobs on each side of the tower. It was too windy for me to set up yesterday and take picks.
I’ll take more picks today when we take it to storage.


Making my new SA build come true!!!

Yea, I was surprised how stout those poles were and how well they fit into the mounts.

I bet if you reach behind that cup holder area it is reinforced.

Typically it’s a styrofoam pad with holes in it and then they resin over the styrofoam.

That looks awesome! I may have to look into that to see if it will work with our Sewlong Bimini.

That looks like it sits above the tow point so you could pull a surfer up with it deployed. Where did you get it?

I know it’s not, but that shade looks like it’s hanging from the ceiling.
