Sun Visor for Lowrance Hook 2 7x

Hi

I just cant get myself to pay $44 for a sun visor for my FF.  Heres the Berkley pro version https://www.ebay.com/p/Berleypro-Fishfinder-Visor-for-Lowrance-Elite-7-Bp1703/873740866?iid=222821593662&chn=ps

Anyone have luck fabricating their own FF sun visor? I was thinking of getting thermoplastic sheets and then mold the sheet to my exterior of the FF. I think Blick Art Online had them. 

Thanks,

Mike

Great topic, let's split the cost and share one.   I looked at them for my hook 4 and did not bite(buy it)

A group buy you say?

I could ask one of the guy I know make some may be for half the price.

Some Velcro and thin sheet of polycarbonate or plexi would work too.

Would that guy also be a lithium battery master also? , down the road i'm in for one of those batteries. I am carrying around 1000lbs of sla right now

Looks like I've found a possible and well documented solution on Youtube.  Basically, what Kevin was suggesting 

I've ordered the Kydex on Amazon.  I'll let you guys know how it goes. Eddie, I will give you with the second sheet at no cost.  I just want some of that mojo it took to land that monster striper last week. 

Everything is easily available at your local TAP plastics.  Sift thru their scrap pile and you can score a sheet for a dollar or two.  All you need is a heat gun and scissors/shears. 

All great idea and something i'll have to do whenever I get my ff

Mojo granted...transferable towards WSB, Halibut, Salmon and Ocean Striper...

Thanks Kevin.  I'll give that a I try.  I didn't know they had a scrap pile.  The last time I was there it seemed kind of boutiquey and very expensive. 

Kydex at tap?
