Abstract

The Boating Accessory is a multi-use fastener designed to attach to various surfaces or objects on a boat. The Boating Accessory may include a body hingedly connected to an arm with a suction mechanism that can be used to secure a corner onto either fiberglass or window glass. The Boating Accessory may include a clip with a rounded portion that can be used to attach to most stainless handles or deck railing with a strong spring for clamping. The clip is useful in attaching to fabrics or hard roofs with a friction member at the contact point. The multi-use fastener may be used to secure a shade anywhere on a boat to immediately and effectively block the sun's rays. When the sun moves lower to the horizon, the multi-use fasteners can be quickly repositioned.
