{"product_id":"qbp797134","title":"TACO Marine ShadeFin Mini Boat Shade, 60 x 38 in Coverage, UPF 50+, 36-52 in Adjustable Height","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TACO Marine ShadeFin Mini is a portable boat shade system for adding targeted sun coverage where fixed tops, hardtops, or biminis do not reach. It gives a 60 in. x 38 in. coverage area, adjusts in height from 36 in. to 52 in., and packs down to 38 in. x 6 in. x 5 in. when not deployed, which makes it practical for smaller boats and crowded cockpit or deck layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mini shade is well suited to bass boats, flats boats, bay boats, kayaks, pontoons, skiffs, and other boats where shade needs to move with the activity on board. The angle adjustment helps place shade over a helm seat, casting area, rail position, or passenger spot without committing to a permanent canopy layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is WeatherMAX 3D in black or white, with a UPF 50+ rating for sun protection. The frame uses powder-coated aluminum with injection-molded nylon components and stainless-steel fasteners, giving the unit the corrosion resistance and vibration tolerance needed around saltwater, washdowns, and frequent setup on deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortable boat shade with a 60 in. x 38 in. coverage area for focused protection over seats, rails, decks, and small open areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjusts from 36 in. to 52 in. to help position shade around different seating and deck layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds down to 38 in. x 6 in. x 5 in. for storage in a compartment, under a seat, or in the included bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherMAX 3D fabric is available in black or white and carries a UPF 50+ rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated aluminum frame, injection-molded nylon components, and stainless-steel fasteners help the shade hold up in the marine environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount choices cover no-mount setups, swivel seat mounting, and square rail mounting for different boat layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple ShadeFin Mini units can be grouped to cover a larger area when more shade is needed on board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ShadeFin Mini is offered in five configurations in this range, with fabric color and mounting package as the two differences between variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shade size, adjustable height range, folding storage size, frame construction, and fabric type remain consistent across these listed configurations. The mount selection mainly affects where the shade can be installed or moved on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-1 comes with white fabric and no mount. This configuration suits boats that already have a compatible ShadeFin Mini mounting point or need a replacement shade assembly without extra mounting hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-2 comes with black fabric and no mount. The black fabric gives the shade a darker appearance while keeping the same no-mount configuration for use with a separate or existing mount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-3 comes with white fabric and a swivel seat mount. This setup is practical for placing shade over a seat position while keeping the light-colored fabric appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-4 comes with black fabric and a swivel seat mount. This version pairs the darker fabric option with seat-based mounting for helm, fishing, or passenger seating areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-6 comes with black fabric and a square rail mount. The square rail mount is intended for square rail installations, making this version useful on boats with suitable rail structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation depends on the selected mount. No-mount versions are intended for use where the boat already has the needed ShadeFin Mini mounting hardware or where a mount will be purchased separately. Swivel seat mount versions are aimed at seating locations, while the square rail mount version is for compatible square rail setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, check the intended mounting location for clearance, passenger movement, fishing access, and the direction of sun exposure during normal use. The compact folded size helps with stowage, but the deployed coverage area still needs room around the seat, rail, or deck space where the shade will be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shade is a good match for boaters who need movable sun coverage without adding a large fixed top. It is especially useful for anglers, families, kayak users, and small-boat owners who want shade over one activity zone at a time, such as the helm, a casting position, a rail seat, or a passenger spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe portable format also makes sense for boats that are trailered, stored with limited clearance, or used in different layouts from trip to trip. It can be set up when shade is needed and packed away when open deck space is more important.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"White \/ No Mount","offer_id":52581949014197,"sku":"QBP797134-V3","price":529.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ No Mount","offer_id":52581949046965,"sku":"QBP797134-V5","price":529.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ Swivel Seat","offer_id":52581949079733,"sku":"QBP800999-V5","price":579.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Swivel Seat","offer_id":52581949112501,"sku":"QBP800999-V6","price":579.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ Square Rail Mount","offer_id":52581949145269,"sku":"QBP800999-V7","price":579.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335484_qbp797134.webp?v=1780201654","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp797134","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
