Systems and methods are provided for a magnetic coupling shade system for boats. The magnetic coupling shade system features a sheet of material that includes magnetic portions coupled with magnets disposed in locations of a boat. The locations of the boat include any of the hull, deck, superstructure, hardtop, or any other suitable surface of the boat. Magnets located on the hull are located within the interior of the hull. The sheet extends from the top to either or both of the port and starboard sides. The sheet can include a variety of materials, and a window portion for viewing through the sheet. In some embodiments, the window portion includes an entirety of the sheet with the magnetic portions attached to opposite edges of the window portion. The sheet is configured to be detached from the magnets and either suspended overhead or rolled upward when not in use.

Magnetic coupling shade system for boats

A boat has an outside pocket door that opens to provide a passageway large enough for a person to pass. Of particular interest are sliding doors that utilize a traveler and a guide, each positioned on one of the door and the housing, having tolerances that severely restrict side to side movement of a distal edge of the door under normal operating conditions. The guide can advantageously comprise a track and rollers, and the traveler can comprises a foot disposed to travel between opposing ones of the rollers. In such embodiments the rollers can advantageously be mounted in spaced apart opposing pairs on a guide, using off-set centers to adjust the tolerances. Sliding doors can be operated in any suitable manner, manually or otherwise, and it is especially contemplated that sliding doors can be operated using a pneumatic ram.
