Claim 0:
1. 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 at least one support rod supporting said canopy substrate, said support rod having a fixed end and a free end;
a support base assembly that is mountable to the boat, said fixed end of said rod being pivotally connected to said support base assembly, said canopy being mounted to said rod between said fixed end and said free end;
said free end of said rod being pivotable away from said support base assembly to an opened position and retractable toward said support base to a closed position;
a locking means, in mechanical communication with said rod and said support base, for selectively locking said rod in said opened position or said closed position;
a plurality of said support rods, each of said support rods having a fixed end and a free end, each of said fixed ends being pivotally connected to said support base assembly proximal to each other, said canopy being mounted to said rods between said fixed ends and said free ends;
said support base assembly including an encasement defining a storage channel, said rod fixed end being pivotally connected to said encasement in said channel;
a fixing hole defined in each of said support rods proximal said fixed ends;
a plurality of bolt assemblies, each of said bolt assemblies being in mechanical communication with each one of said fixing holes for pivotally mounting each one of said support rods individually to said support base assembly;
a plurality of support arms corresponding to said support rods, each of said support arms supporting one of said support rods, said support rods having corresponding fixing holes coinciding with said fixing holes of said support rods, each of said bolt assemblies mating with each of said fixing holes of said support rods and said support arms; 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 rods, each of said support rods being pivotally connected by said bolt assemblies to said pivoting bracket through said fixing apertures.
