OK , maw and me both want an umbrella for our seats . Never been down this road before , figured I better ask here before I bail off into this . Seen some that mount to the back of the seat that adjust one direction only .
Seen some that mount under the seat on seat pole . This looks to be the easiest but maybe not the handiest .
With a padded seat back , mounting the bracket involves taking the seat apart to bolt it on . Hummmm.
What ya'll figure out that works well?

Get the 8 foot Sportbrella from Sam's Club or Sportman's Warehouse. It comes in several colors. You will have to figure out the best way to mount it but it comes with two tie downs to keep it in the boat. The 3/4" center pole will fit in a regular seat base.
I hope someone here has figured out a way to mount an umbrella,I want one on my yak,but am a bit leery it will turn into a sail in the wind.

I made 2 of these about 10 years ago, they will hold the 5 foot umbrellas no problems.
did the same as country boy but used pvc. works great!
Nice flowers on the umbrella country boy! LOL just funnin' ya!
Check with E-Z Poleholder I think he sells a umbrella holders on his web site. He is in the Sponsor advertising forum.
I built mine out of PVC also. Find the right size that fits over your pedestal and go buy a cheap beach umbrella from Wal-mart and do a little improvising with the shaft. Mine will rotate 360 deg. Had mine for >10 years. Cost - approx $20 for 2.Quote:

A guy here n dothan Alabama builds some. They swivel with the seat but mount under the seat. Boyds marine sells them here. I have two the work great. The one that bolt to the back of the seat rip out with time and mess up the seat back
Attachment 195610this works for me.
One word of caution I forgot to mention. Sportbrella's don't float if blown out of the boat. Don't ask me how I know.:)Quote:
