    A couple of comments:
    ---For better viewing, I made a box out of pasteboard and duct tape to go
    over the PC in "high light" situations. Works great and is easy to stow. I
    might make one out of teak some day. But a bigger suggestion. Sunbrella
    makes a mesh fabric which cuts down the sun and UV by 70%. We mounted this
    with snaps on the INSIDE of the pilot house. We take all 9 of these panels
    on and off as we need for sun. We also put on an extra set of snaps on each
    one so that they can be mounted outside ---think about the fact that a
    non-square window on the port side has the same shape with snaps on the
    opposite side as the opposing window on the starboard side-----double use.
    We also put a third set of snaps on this canvas so that solid Sunbrella can
    be snapped to the border of the mesh Sunbrella. (Maybe we should apply for a
    patent)
