Key Features of SureShade PTX
Tested to 40 mph
Unlike many aftermarket boat shades that come with restrictive speed recommendations, PTX is tested to 40 mph. Stay protected from the sun while cruising between destinations without constantly stopping to deploy or stow your shade.
Ready in 28 Seconds
Enjoy shade at the push of a button. PTX deploys or retracts in as little as 28 seconds, while built-in anti-racking protection helps ensure smooth, reliable operation without the setup hassles of manual shade systems.
Factory-Like Fit
PTX is designed to integrate seamlessly with most T-top and hardtop boats. Four standard width options fit tops from 52.5" to 77.5" wide, creating a clean, tensioned appearance without the sagging, crooked supports, or awkward fitment common with traditional boat shades.
Why Choose a Retractable Boat Shade?
Shade When You Want It. Open Sky When You Don't.
A retractable boat shade gives you the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions on the water. Extend the PTX when you need relief from the sun, then retract it when it's time to fish, cruise, entertain, or enjoy an unobstructed view.
Benefits of a Retractable Boat Shade:
- Add shade without permanently covering your deck
- Create a more comfortable space on hot, sunny days
- Maintain open sightlines when shade isn't needed
- Maximize usable deck space
- Enjoy a clean, low-profile appearance when retracted
Shade at the Touch of a Switch
The PTX retractable boat shade makes it easy to create shade in seconds with a simple electric-powered design.
How It Works:
- Press the rocker switch to activate the system.
- The shade extends up to 5 feet over your boat deck.
- Relax under expanded sun protection while anchored, cruising, or spending time with family and friends.
- Retract the shade when you're ready for an open, unobstructed view.
- Auto shut-off technology helps ensure smooth, reliable operation every time.
This simple process delivers the convenience of a fully automated retractable boat shade without the complexity of manual setup or adjustment.
SureShade PTX Style Options
Every boat is different. PTX gives you the flexibility to select the right shade width and canvas color for a custom-fit appearance and reliable coverage on the water.
Select Boat Shade Canvas Width
The PTX retractable boat shade is designed to fit a wide range of T-top and hardtop boats under 26 feet, making it easy to find the right size for your specific setup. Simply measure the centerline width of your top and select the corresponding PTX size.
- 51" (fits 52.5" to 58.5" centerline width)
- 57" (fits 58.5" to 64.5" centerline width)
- 63" (fits 64.5" to 70.5" centerline width)
- 69" (fits 70.5" to 77.5" centerline width)
Choose Boat Shade Color
PTX power shade features 600-denier polyester marine canvas available in four canvas color options:
- Navy Blue
- Tan
- Black
- Grey
Your PTX boat shade extension should complement both your boat and your boating style. Each color option is designed to deliver the same durable performance while giving you the flexibility to match existing upholstery, canvas, and accent colors.
The premium marine fabric resists the harsh conditions of life on the water, helping your boat shade maintain its appearance season after season.
