Homemade T-top Extender

Hey all...Fished out of Loreto, Baja, in my 210 in June 08 vs my normal early spring trip. Was a little concerned about the sun and with three aboard wanted to make the cooler seat inviting. I couldn't see paying $200 for one of the professional sun visors so I fashioned one out of 1/2 inch PVC. Affixed supports with hose clamps and then used screw-type unions for easy on and off. My wife sewed the panel out of painters drop canvass. Total cost about $16. Worked great. Aero load while near WOT into a head wind caused oscillations - used some twine to make corner tie downs.

We did well fishing, including my first dorado. Some photos below ...Adios.......Barry
