I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for portable shade on a 170 Montauk. I am not interested in a bimini over the pilot seat but was looking for something more portable to use as needed which could be used to cover either the bow cushion seating area or the aft seating. I would only use it occasionally and do not feel the need to install something permanently.

I tried Taylor's Anchor Shade last year and returned it after setting it up because it seemed very cheaply made and had many poor reviews based on its quality.

I always boat in the ocean and typically it is very windy when sitting anchored. I do not need something that needs to stay up when underway. I have seen various umbrellas and even thought of possibly putting one in the fishing rod holder attached to the console but figured with the wind it would end up cracking the holder or smashing my windshield.

Thanks for any suggestions.
