I wish I had one of the newer LED backlit units. I'd like to see how they work in the daylight.

I have the 2" Ball type stand that hold the unit in place and I can easily adjust the angle. Thanks I give that a try and see if it helps.

Some time I turn the boat at a different angle to the sun just to get the umbrella shad to fall over the screen. But while trolling and trying to avoid other boats and other fishermen it's somethings not possible to get the shade from the umbrella to fall directly on the screen.

Changing the Screen color on the SI from blue to amber helps me to see the screen better. I prefer the amber color as it's easier on my eyes.
You could just buy an 1198 and you won't have that problem
