MAGMA Products Cockpit Umbrella

I work as a marine technician, boat mechanic, fixing yachts and sail boats. Life saver during the summer. And I made a mount for my stand up paddle board cooler, and use it for my 9 year olds street side art and jewelry selling table, be creative and it shade anywhere you want, very light weight but very durable using the awesome four corner tie downs and the easy straps that come with it.

This is my second purchase, Lost first on trip to Al, wind took it off the deck (Not in its mount-my mistake) and Sank before my eyes! But they are Great Quality and Clever Design. They let wind pass without turning the umbrella inside out. But the rain stays OUT. Great for areas with little to no shade, you can easly bring it with you. Easy to stow and take very little room. I keep them in a 16 foot Tracker style bass boat with limited space. So Nice I bought two this past purchase. Enjoy !

High quality umbrellas. Very impressed with the heavy duty mounting system. We bought two and are always in the shade now wherever we sit in the boat. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the quality from Magma. We have owned one of their BBQs for the past 15 years. Our original boat sank and was on the bottom of the lake for ten days with the BBQ in it. Still using it and never had to replace any of the parts.

We only used this as a sun shade 2-or-3 times, 2-of the fiberglass ribs snapped off at the connection points. These broke just opening or closing, no wind or miss use. Very poor quality ribs. Would not buy again.

I hoped that I could use it to cover the cockpit of my bow rider. The only way to connect it is on a rail. I wanted to place it in the middle of the deck. The support pole is very short and small. Couldn't make it work.
