Po' Mans A/C

Finally dunked the boat today. I also hooked up my 19" Flat screen TV which sits on the left side of the dashboard. At times I have a hard time seeing the TV so I decided I'd add a little shade to the Parker today.

I went to the local auto parts store and picked up one of those accordian type window shades. In just a few minutes I cut it to fit the side windows. I'm not sure if I want the Blue or silver on the outside.

Anyway, I bet it will keep the pilothouse a bit cooler come summer time at the dock.

That will help alot!!

Mike and I have been talking about having a buddy of ours make some custom cover for us, not sure weather or not to go inside or outside the windows.

Maybe we'll go cheap and copy what you did.

Cheap it was, $7.99 per side.

That's almost a whole $20. :shock:

Yeah, what's up with the TV.

No Sat TV, just dock TV. We have cable TV at our marina. I'll post up a pic.

Someday Sat. TV for a boat will get under $500 and I'll be gettin' one.

The digital antennae work pretty good, ever try one?

Speaking of flat screens, I found an app that mirrors my phone plotter on a flat screen via HDMI cable.

Sprint EVO on left...32" Samsung on right.

What's the App? Do tell. Looks like a great idea for my Droid.
