Thanks Dave....the pvc tube flexes forward a little under tension and the bungee cord idea would keep everything taut.
I shortened the length of the pvc tube to lower the overall height until I could see completely over it while standing at the helm.
I had gotten a quote for a custom made bow dodger. It was a lot of money and I thought it might just get in the way. We built the homemade version as a mock up and decided it worked fine.
Just getting out of the sun for short breaks, helped alleviate the effects of being exposed to the sun all day.
