I have standard horizon 150 series wind, and multi instruments with no sun covers. They don't make them anymore, and I haven't found anything on ebay all winter. Every web site i can find them on says discontinued. anyone got any ideas? I thought I saw something about sunbrella covers a few years ago but I can't find anything about them now. I really want to keep these going for a few more years before i upgrade. Thank's

If yours are the normal bulkhead mounted instruments and you have any Sunbrella tailing bags, just add some snaps near the top of the bulkhead so the bags cover the instruments. Relocate 'em down in the cockpit for when you need the gauges. If you don't have any bags, talk to your favorite sailmaker, wife, girlfriend....

I found covers that fit from Raymarine a few years ago. I am not sure they are still available.

If you have a consignment shop in your area, I have been successful in finding obsolete stuff at reasonable prices.

I wish we had a shop in the area, alas there aren't many sailboats in western Nebraska. most everything I get second hand comes from ebay. I might check dimensions on raymarine products and see if anything is close.
Thank's guy's

A local consignment shop (boatersresaleshopoftexas) has a box of sun covers that will fit. Want me to pick some out for you? How many do you need? Sent me an email robertnute@comcast.net
