Claim 5:
6. A boat awning device or system for mounting to a boat to selectively provide shade outside the boat over water, said boat awning comprising:
a canopy assembly having a canopy substrate and a plurality of support rods supporting said canopy substrate, said support rods each having a fixed end and a free end, each of said fixed ends having a fixing hole proximal said fixed ends;
a support base assembly that is mountable to the boat;
a plurality of support arms pivotally connected to said support base assembly, each of said support arms having a support arm fixed end and a fixing opening proximal each of said support arm fixed ends, each of said support rods being mounted to a corresponding one of said support arms such that said fixing holes align with said fixing opening, said canopy substrate being mounted to said support rods between said fixed ends and said free ends, said free end of said rods being pivotable away from said support base assembly to an opened position and retractable toward said support base to a closed position; and
said support base assembly including an encasement defining a storage channel, said support rod fixed ends and said support arm fixed ends being in pivotal communication with said encasement in said channel, a plurality of bolt assemblies, each of said bolt assemblies being in mechanical communication with each one of said fixing holes and said fixing openings for pivotally mounting each of said support arms and said support rods individually to said support base assembly and a pivoting bracket defining a U-shaped channel, said pivoting bracket having a plurality of fixing apertures corresponding in number to the number of said support arms and said support rods, each of said support arms being pivotally connected by said bolt assemblies to said pivoting bracket through said fixing apertures, said fixing holes and said fixing openings.
