Do you use a sun shade/hood on your fishfinder(s)?

Thank you all.

I like the battery box idea as well but went ahead and bought the APEX sun shades. They are 15% off right now at their website and cheaper overall than on Ebay. I will report back after trying them out.

Don't forget that Rickie, our local DF/FF guru builds an apparatus that turns your DF/FF cover into a sun shade.
Easy to use and never gets lost;

da cover holdit - Podunk (po dungk) A small isolated town, region, or place that is regarded as unimportant. . . .

Please Wait... | Cloudflare works well for my Helix 10 and Garmin 8610xsv and is a must in Texas.

I have the Berley Pro, but it is a pita to install. I like the looks of the Apex better, and will order one.

Hope their product is better than their spellin'.

Not a shade but I made it to protect the plugs from the jumping carp we have would hate to have them wipe the plug out of the back of my garmin. Could easily add a top to it to share the sun. Pretty easy to make

Have a nice day

the berly pro, yes i had two, and the apex are to short of a hood, stump jumper products makes a good long shade cover, but he is proud of his stuff, but its the best i have found, they are made from aluminum, fyi the corners are pretty sharp and i personally sanded mine smooth, they are heck on a shirt.

I still haven’t installed the APEX but sure wish I had seen this Stump Jumper products!

For others wanting more info on them, go to Facebook was the only place I found info on them.
