Port Shades for H26

I'm looking at options for port coverings including the port shades sold in the HOW chandlery. These apparently mount with screws into the cabin walls. Has anyone installed these (or similar) on a h26? I'm leery of putting holes in the walls and wonder how much "bite" the screws will have for an application that's being tugged at all the time. I'm also considering the "peek-a-boo" type shades that fit inside the port and need no screws. Any good/bad stories about these? Any other ideas? Thanks.

I had the Peek-A-Boo type on my 450 and while they work well, they also block a significant amount of light from entering cabin, even when fully open. I'd say that's their biggest drawback. I believe Hunter quit using them.

Anyone seen something like this?

I wonder if there is anyone who makes a blackout film that would just cling to the windows? For the limited number of ports on these boats, it wouldn't be that much trouble to stick them on as needed.
