    Default Looking for some shade? Added bonus to the add a seat device, ADD AN UMBRELLA


    If you own an add-a-seat but might not use it every trip or if you are thinking of buying one or a double seat system, you have 2 great arms for making a umbrella support base out of. I think I'm gonna like this. These colorful umbrellas were all I could find and for $5 each I couldn't turn them down. I simply took one of the support arms from the add-a-seat and reversed it and removed their support pedestal and slid it over mine and then placed a piece of pvc next to a swivel-ease seat post and secured it with 2 hose clamps. 6 foot circle of shade is all I'm seeing outta this deal. Thanks add-a-seat. This is awesome. I was going to try and build something but started looking at the arms that came with my seat and made this thing up. I was looking at spending about $30-40 per seat to MAKE 2 holders that could "hold up" to wind, etc and was just able to add that money into the add-a-seat and still get 2 umbrella holders.

    COST BREAK DOWN...

    Umbrella.....$5
    2 Hose clamps.....$3
    ARM.....Came with add-a-seat
    PVC pipe.....Had in scrap pile
    13" swivel-ease seat post...Had in boat already

    Default It will work with 2 seats also.

    If you have both seats up front with your Add-A-Seat you can do the same thing by putting the umbrella pole in the middle. I was wondering if this would work but I do not use an umbrella. Too hard-headed I guess.

    No one sells corn cobs anymore. I have to grow and dry my own, but, the only seed I can get is some hybrid junk that only produces a quilted two ply perfumed cob.:D

    I fish on my day off. Why wouldn't I want to be comfortable and enjoy it? It hits 100 degrees fairly often where I live with high humidity.
