Re: How do you pitch your boat cover to keep water from pooling
Re: How do you pitch your boat cover to keep water from pooling
This is why I don't use a boat cover and use a heavy duty tarp. The tarp makes snow slide off better, even if its a wet snow, usually all you have to do is shake it a little and the snow will come right off. The boat covers absorb some moisure and like you said makes it sag. Plastic tarps don't expand and don't absorb water. There also not as much of a pain in the butt to install, snap and all that stuff!I would buy a plastic tarp and put it over the boat cover or just use the tarp by its self. I use bungees to hold the tarp tight all the way down to the trailer. And if you buy a tarp , buy the heavy duty silver and brown one from lowes. Best I have found, going on my third season with this one.
If you decide to use your cover, try spraying it with a water repellant.
