how does it do in the wind ,thanksThumbs Up
Use mine in a seat pedistal hole and tie it off in the front and back and it does great. Juat cant run down the lake with it up.
I had mine up yesterday morning and the wind got up to about 15 mph. The umbrella did fine but it will turn your boat into a sail boat. It makes it harder to maintain your speed when trolling.
Academy has 9' tilt umberllas for 29.99
i ordered a sportbrella 8fter,my ole cheap freds umbrella broke in probally 10mph wind sunday,i hope the sunbrella can handle 10 -15 mph wind,thanks
That's a good deal bigger. Thanks for the heads up. The tilt feature is VERY handy in the early morning and late afternoons.Quote:

welp i got my sportbrella yesterday and figured i would put it in the boat and see what it would look like,well wrong the knob where u can adjust it up and down is stripped ,anybody else have any trouble out of them,just wondering
dang man i hate that its allways something:mad:
Bought mine last year from Sam's and just broke it out of the bag a couple hours ago. All is well. Still not exactly sure what I'm going to fasten it to, but it's gonna work just fine
do you not have a extra seat ped up front
Yeah. That's where it is going. Just not exactly sure what I'm going to fasten the front to. Nothing really up there
i dont have to fasten mine down.. its fits VERY tight in mine...
I don't fasten the front....just tie down each side to the cleats on the side of my boat.Quote:

I read the reviews and there are a ton of those stripped knobs! Just get you a regular bolt to replace the knob.Quote:
