    Does anyone knows who sells Oceanair blinds in sofl? They have a unique way of folding when retracting to accommodate odd shape windows and can also be mounted on slanted forward windows. Looks like the Oceanair is brand nr 1234 bought out but the Evil Empire aka Dometic but their website doesn’t show a sofl dealer for blinds.

    Been a few years. How did you make out with the blinds ?

    I'm looking for ceiling shades like in photo. Seems Ocean Air a very common name.

    Those deck hatch blinds are great. I've used them for years.

    We have Oceanair blinds, and we also have a hatch shade like the one in your photo. Works well enough. Had some cosmetic damage to it when we got the boat, and we were able to get parts OK.

    The roll-up mechanism can be fairly aggressive, so you need to have/keep positive control of each side when breaking the magnetic connection. Otherwise one side or the other will roll up fast enough to damage the little "handles" (which was the cosmetic damage we had to deal with).
