I just bought a new cover for my 17' runabout I/O. It has small 1" wide nylon webbing loops around the outside of the cover at various places, meant to be used insecuring the cover to the boat/trailer, but I am not sure of the best way to secure the cover, especially when trailering the boat with the cover on.
My old cover had female quick release buckles sewn to various places on the ouside perimeter of f the cover. I attached long 1" nylon webbbing straps with a male quick release on one end to these female quick releases. The long straps were then run under the boat and attached to a female quick release using another male quick release attached to the far end of the strap. Having the straps run under the boat allowed the cover to be secured to the boat itself rather than the trailer.
My question is how can I do something similar with this new cover? I am thinking that I just need to tie the end of my long nylon straps to the loops. Or is just running the straps down to the trailer frame good enough?
There probaby is some obvious answer that I am somehow not thinking of, but it has me stumped.
Thanks!
