    A couple of slots in the kydex to run the velcro straps thru and around the whole shitteree makes it stable and easily removable.

    You gave me a great idea for a homemade visor for my kayak fishfinder. Mine cost about $5. Just used some thin flat black plastic from a plastic file folder I purchased at Target. I cut out a rectangle, creased the edges and attached with velcro.

      I already made two of them. One for my HDS10 and one for my Helix 5 for my pond boat. They are great !

      Yes, I used the Velcro Sticky Back for Auto. Going to take it on the water Tuesday. Can't wait ! This has been a long term problem and have wanted to fix it. I put a NuShield film on my HDS10 but it really didn't help that much.

    My solution was a piece of black paper scotch taped to the fishfinder. Dirt cheap, easy to store away when not needed, and doesn't interfere with fitting my fishfinder back into it's case between use. If worried about water, could use a paper-thin piece of black plastic just as easily. Check an office supply store for vinyl binders.

    Cool! Does it hang on in the wind?

    • @32OT491
      @32OT491  5 років тому

      Tim Trewyn I would maybe secure it with some screws if that’s the case. I have had it out in some windy conditions, but if the wind hits it a weird angle it could come off

    Did you consider using screws to mount? Like the way the BerleyPro visors mount? Nice DIY!

    • @32OT491
      @32OT491  5 років тому +1

      FishNinjaY I did think about using screws. I just figure Velcro would easier for quick removal if need be. Thanks

      fishing is my drug I still use it here and there, just have to be careful about accidentally hitting it. I would recommend maybe using something else instead of Velcro. Maybe something more permanent

    you skipped the part about trimming the over hang back. I'm assuming it's about 2.5 inches or a 45degree cut. Is this true?
