  • I tried some heat molding of abs plastic for the first time and this is the result. Wanted the sun shade to be a single piece, to be non-destructive to the unit itself, and for the right side controls easily accessible with a thumb. No velcro or double stick tape that could gunk up the fish finder over time. There’s some neoprene foam placed on the underside of the shade to seal it a bit better. Was a quick and dirty prototype but it ended up fitting fairly well.

      Thanks! Here's the pattern, which I would use as more of a rough guide than an exact pattern.

      It took a lot of bending and stretching, and then more bending and more re-stretching on top of that to make it work.

    Pete Kvidera, nicely done! Did you use 1/16" thickness or 1/8" for your ABS plastic?
