TACO Marine Tele-Sun Shade Poles, Carbon Fiber, 52.89-80.4 in, 1/4 in Pin, 2pk, Mesh Carry Bag

Overview

The TACO Marine T10-7005CF is a pair of carbon fiber Tele-Sun shade poles for creating removable sun coverage from existing deck-mounted rod holders. Each pole telescopes from 52.89 in. to 80.4 in., giving boat owners a practical way to support shade fabric at the cockpit, bow, stern, or sandbar setup without adding a fixed frame.

The carbon fiber tubes keep handling and stowage manageable, while the clear Awl Grip UV-protection helps the poles stand up to exposure on deck. The system uses a 1/4 in. rod holder pin, a 1/4 in. rope diameter, a 1-1/2 in. main tube, and a 1-1/4 in. inner tube. It fits deck-mounted rod holders with a 1-1/2 in. inside diameter.

These poles are made for boaters who want shade that can be deployed when needed and stored when the day is done. Canvas or shade fabric and the 10 degree flush mount rod holder are not included, so those parts should be matched to the boat and installation layout before setup.

Key features

• Sold as a pair of telescoping carbon fiber shade poles for removable boat shade setups.
• Extends from 52.89 in. to 80.4 in. to help position shade fabric over the cockpit, bow, stern, or lounging area.
• Clear Awl Grip UV-protection on the carbon fiber material helps with long days of deck exposure.
• Installs into deck-mounted rod holders using a 1/4 in. pin.
• Works with rod holders that have a 1-1/2 in. inside diameter.
• Cam cleat allows line tension to be adjusted after the shade fabric is attached.
• Open hood gives another way to clamp fabric using a bungee cord system.
• Locking mechanism and 360 degree swivel collar support practical positioning while setting the shade.
• Mesh carrying bag helps keep the poles together and protected during storage.

Installation and setup

Setup is straightforward when the boat already has the right rod holders in place. Insert the poles into the rod holders, secure the sun-protection fabric to the boat top, connect the fabric to the poles, and extend the poles until the fabric sits in the needed position.

The cam cleat is useful once the fabric is in place because it lets the line tension be adjusted without rebuilding the setup. For boats that use a different fabric attachment approach, the open hood feature supports a bungee cord clamping method.

Compatibility and fit

This shade pole pair is intended for deck-mounted rod holders with a 1-1/2 in. inside diameter. The 10 degree flush mount rod holder and the canvas material are separate items, so the rod holder angle, deck location, and fabric layout should be checked against the boat before installation.

The poles can be used toward the front or rear of the boat, depending on the rod holder placement and where shade is needed. They are a good match for center consoles, fishing boats, day boats, and cruising setups where removable shade is more useful than a permanent structure.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the poles with fresh water after use around spray or sand, then let them dry before placing them back in the mesh carrying bag. Before each setup, check the rod holder fit, pin engagement, line tension, and fabric attachment points so the shade system is secure before the boat gets underway or conditions change.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
