SureShade PTX Power Shade - 51" Wide - Stainless Steel - Grey

The SureShade PTX Power Shade in 51" wide stainless steel grey is engineered for serious boaters who demand reliable sun and weather protection on the water. After decades of fishing and cruising, protection from UV exposure and sudden weather changes is non-negotiable—it extends equipment life, reduces cabin heat, and keeps anglers comfortable during long days offshore or on inland waters. This motorized shade system delivers the convenience of one-touch deployment, eliminating the manual effort of traditional canvas or frame systems while maintaining professional aesthetics on any vessel.

Built from marine-grade stainless steel with a weather-resistant grey fabric, the SureShade PTX Power Shade combines durability with corrosion resistance—critical for saltwater and freshwater environments alike. The 51-inch width covers substantial deck or console areas, while the motorized PTX system retracts smoothly into its compact 9 x 4-inch profile when stowed, preserving valuable deck space. The stainless steel hardware resists rust and galvanic corrosion, and the fabric withstands prolonged sun exposure without degradation, ensuring years of reliable service in harsh marine conditions.

This system is ideal for center console and cabin cruiser owners who fish during peak sun hours or operate in tropical and subtropical waters where UV protection directly impacts crew comfort and skin safety. Installation is straightforward on new builds or retrofits, with the compact collapsed dimensions (70 inches long) fitting standard hardtop and T-top mounting locations found on modern sport fishing and recreational vessels. At 14 pounds, the weight distribution is manageable for typical boat structures, and the motorized deployment integrates seamlessly with existing electrical systems on vessels with 12V or 24V power infrastructure.
