Question on the new SternShade

[SONIC]

I asked my dealer if I could get a quote on the stern shade for my 2019 Craz. He said they tried to install them on the older models and it caused hull damage. Said the 2022’s are reinforced foe those shades.

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

There is no way that tent and poles requires hull reinforcement lol. That dealer is full of it.

I would agree, this would be no different then adding a phender pro fitting.

Easy enough to epoxy a small reinforcing block under the fiberglass if needed too.

Just the dealer making up BS excuses because they don't want to/don't know how to do what you're asking.
Those sections of the hull have no issue with a 250lb guy standing on them, they aren't going to care if they are supporting a tent pole.

Does anyone know what fitting these tent poles use?

Have y’all seen this system from TACO marine? It uses rod holders to lock the poles in. Make sense to have rod holders on a fishing boat but I wonder if the ones on wake boats are similar or scaled down?

I’ll have my shade when my boat gets delivered in mid-march. I’ll post pics of the system.

Spray date is tomorrow!!!

Hopefully. I didn’t bother to ask my sales guy when he called the other day. I’ll ask next week.
