Has anyone tried using any of the sun shade products for better instrument/tablet visibility? I would like to start using my iPad as a repeater on the boat. But as most everyone knows they are virtually impossible to read in the sunlight.

I have a Targus waterproof case for my iPad, it does cut down the glare and offers some protection from water and spray. One caveat about cases, if left in the sun they iPad will over heat and shut down.

Which model do you have? I went from an iPhone 6 to 14 and there's a significant improvement regarding overheating

I have a 5th generation iPad. As long as I keep it out of direct sun, it is fine. I never use it out of the case.
