It seems that my boat came with "drapes" in a track for the portlights. I

I would really like to replace the drapes with something other than material
that can be so easily degraded. I've heard about plastic shutters by
Zarcor...http://www.zarcor.com/PeekaBooo/index.htm. Someone have thoughts
about alternatives to the drapes besides this?

Besides, they're ugly and don't work that well.

You could buy a sewing machine and make new drapes for the cost of 2
Peekaboos. Line the back of the drapes with white UV fabric.

....sunbrealla...you can buy itr online or sometimes you can get scraps
from a local person that does upholstery and awnings etc...for that
matter, if you're so inclined, you can make curtains out of sunbrella,
too...I have a seabag that I bought years ago made out of the
stuff...hjot pink and electric blue, and it has not faded in the 10
years or so I';ve had it..and it's been through the washing machine
countless times...
