T
he customer's wakeboard boat
came with a very small sun
top due to the towrope being
attached to the pylon on top of the
arch. The goal of the project was
to fabricate a simple shade kit that
could be used on the bow or the
stern of the boat. A flap with zippers
was added to the front and rear of
the original small top. A single frame
that breaks into four pieces using
tube joints with push buttons was
constructed. The bow mounts to the
boat using low-profile deck hinges
with push buttons, which means no
tools are needed to put up the 6½44

foot shade. The webbing straps and
quick-release buckles pull the shade
tight to the existing cleats. The whole
kit breaks down into a small mesh
bag that can be easily stored inside
the console.
