It worked well. Must put downward pressure on fiberglass rods to keep it in place during windy conditions. Bottom of pole waked around a bit. Tried placing a rubber shoe under pole to keep it in place to no avail. Added a bungie cord to keep the pole in place. Needs a better rubber end cap to keep it in place. Maybe a suction cup type of bottom. Otherwise, it looks great and worked well. It will help save my boats seats and equipment as well as us from the strong Sun's rays we have on the Colorado River. Our use is mainly on Lake Mead, Lake Mojave, and Havasu. Also, the extra shade helps keep our ice longer which is very important for us on the Colorado River. Very easy to use.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Taylor Made should be ashamed of this product and Overton's should not carrie or advertised as "best Seller" [...]. Poorly made, at the end of the day...the mechanism that is supposed to slide down the pole to enable the shade to fold up locked up. I tried everything possible but it would not fold up. I ended up using a screwdriver to dismantle the hole umbrella and put it back in the supposedly heavy duty nylon bag that rip on the side. I have know send the umbrella back to overton's [...]. So if you don't want to be cheat it out of your money DON't Buy it!

    • Shade For Seating On Boat

    Comments about Taylor Made AnchorShade II:

    We are now able to sit outside in the hot sun in the cockpit of our boat. We tried regular umbrellas but just a little whiff of wind would dislodge it. We saw an anchorshade being used by another boat and asked where they got it. It is adaptable to fit our needs and yes it does get hot in the PNW. Sometimes.

          Comments about Taylor Made AnchorShade II:

          Great for sun and light rain protection in the cockpit of our 32' cruiser. I really hate the branding on it - this lost them a star. People thought it was the name of our boat. The color shoices are good and the storage bag is great. Once you have your location for regular usage identified - taking it up and down is extremely simple. Even kept us dry in an unepected shower.

              Don't know why some people complain about this product? you get what you pay for and for that, it does exactly what it supposed to do. Even if some of this plastic hardware should break tomorrow, I would replace it with stainless, no big deal. Love the product, love the shade, love the fact that we can spend more time on the water. Oh, I'm not a fan of the giant logos :)

                  Absolutely. We installed stainless steel eyelets on our rails at the appropriate locations. It looks good and remains stable at anchor. Highly recommend.

              • Q:

                What type of warranty does this item have?

                I've been very careful not to place it where it can be damaged. Opened it this weekend and see one of the support poles (fiberglass) is splintered. If warranty doesn't cover this problem, can I buy a replacement pole?

                  Yes. With the powder coating on the pole, it took a second to get it in the FIRST time, but from then on it slides strait in.

                  no holes to be drilled and it can sit in a table hole or just on the floor. But it may slide in a small breeze or fall apart

                  the center pole provides support with four teather lines extending from the corners of the shade to the cleats of your boat. We alos are able to attache the lines to bow rails, ect.
