Well I have the camera working , and we finished the sunbrella sides .
I am really happy how they came out . It wasn't to bad sewing ether .
They go on and off pretty easy , and gives much needed privacy in a busy harbor . I thought I would share If anybody wanted to make there own .



The best part is it gives privacy in the cabin ,so you don't have to bock the doorway .

I ordered from defender ,and used the 60" wide for the sides and cut it in half .
30" wide by 6' long .

The back I used the 42" wide I for got how long I think almost 8'

On the sides I used 18" bungies to hook the life line ,
and the bottom hooks the rub rail .
Then four twist snaps on top .
so far the bottom hangs its low enough that it wont blow into the cockpit .


The back I used one long bungie from west marine with 4 hooks for each corner .
I just tied a knot in the bungie to hold the hook .
then folded the material around the cord and sewed it up .


I can take more pics if you like .
It sure beets towels and cloths pins !
