Does anyone with a 179 have the PahaQue Visor? I just received mine and I’m a little underwhelmed with it. It was easy to put up, but it looks like the support/tie down interfere with the door a little. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions before I head out next week? Does it handle a bit of wind ok? ------------- Gary E McCall, Idaho 2017 RP179 https://www.instagram.com/erttergary/ |

In my experience, no, it doesn't handle the wind well. One of the rod segments in the "bill" of the visor broke the first time I used it.
As for clearing the door, you can extend the side rods to raise it. Just make sure that the cord is *really* tight to keep them from popping out of the pockets. |

Are you able to share any pics of the visor on your 179? ------------- 2016 R-Pod 179 |

If I had it to do over, I probably wouldn't have spent the money on this. First, FS fault, I had to counter sink all the screws in the keder rail, as the visor hung up on them while trying to slide it on. It was easy to put up, but some of the craftsman ship is lacking. The cut off (?) where it slides into the rail is unfinished and a bit ugly - ragged material edge. The worst part was the upright poles. One stuck so hard I can't move it anymore. It's trash. And the other is sticky also. I will need to find alternate poles. I know if there's any chance of wind next time, I will also anchor it straight down to a deadman. I have some other fixes I may do, since I'm sure I'm stuck with it. It is cute though! (Salmon River Canyon)  ------------- Gary E McCall, Idaho 2017 RP179 https://www.instagram.com/erttergary/ |

I agree with McCall completely (see my avatar). Not worth the money for what you get. Kind of a hassle. I wouldn't recommend it. ------------- Old: 2014 177 HRE 2015 Tacoma V6 4x4 Double Cab New: 2016 EVO ATS 200rd 2016 F150 4x4 Sport |

Smallmouth bass and trout to some degree, but it's mainly steelhead & salmon with a few sturgeon. It can get quite busy with steelhead fishing. ------------- Gary E McCall, Idaho 2017 RP179 https://www.instagram.com/erttergary/ |

It's about 5 miles above Riggins, a private access beach with a rental cabin. The owner rents it on VRBO, but if it's not in use I can use the beach. Pretty cool! ------------- Gary E McCall, Idaho 2017 RP179 https://www.instagram.com/erttergary/ |

These are ocean run, and are around 28" and 18 pounds on average. Bigger is common. ------------- Gary E McCall, Idaho 2017 RP179 https://www.instagram.com/erttergary/ |

| When I first got mine it had similar issues. I called them and they took it back and replaced it and the second one I got was perfect and I haven't had any issues with it since. I heard they upgraded them or something, I'm not really sure. But I also have their side tent (vastly superior to the "r-dome") and as soon as they come out the the rear tent for my garage hatch that'll be next. But just give them a call. They were pretty easy to deal with for me... |
