    Silver top cap

    If you have a boat with a silver top cap does it get too bright and blind you?

    Mine is silver with silver flake. Never had an issue. I get more blinded by the sun hittin the graph and bouncing up at me once in awhile. Like a mirror.

    I had a bright silver top cap on my 2018 and never noticed reflection/brightness at all. Never had a co-angler mention it, either.

    My Ranger's top cap is anniversary silver and it does not reflect enough to blind me.

    Had a silver flake top cap in 2017 and 18. never saw that as an issue. Heck looking at the water can blind you.
